Qian Song

...

As soon as Zhong Shidao led the eight thousand Western Army cavalry into Bianliang City, Tokyo, Li Bangyan sent someone to send an imperial edict warning Zhong Shidao: "The imperial court has negotiated peace with Dagan, and those who dare to speak out will destroy their clan!"

Zhong Shidao didn't care about Li Bangyan's warning, he said in his heart: "The alliance under the city is so easy to make peace, how dare you talk about peace?"

Zhong Shidao is really too old, and because of his old injuries, after riding a horse for a while, his body can't stand it anymore.

But Zhong Shidao still insisted not to enter the palace in a sedan chair, but insisted on riding a horse to the palace.

Zhong Shidao did not meet Zhao Huan first, but first met Li Bangyan and other Zaizhi.

Li Bangyan and other Zaizhi warned Zhong Shidao again, telling Zhong Shidao not to destroy the peace they had created with great difficulty, and then brought Zhong Shidao into the palace to meet Zhao Huan.

In the Palace of Funing, Zhong Shidao met Zhao Huan, the new emperor of Zhao Song Dynasty for the first time.

Zhong Shidao doesn't feel very good about Zhao Huan.

Zhao Huan has high cheekbones and narrow Yintang, a typical narrow-minded, vitriolic and selfish appearance.

The key point is that Zhao Huan is too young.

Zhong Shidao was very worried that Zhao Huan would not be able to manage the rudder of the huge ship Zhao Song Dynasty who was in the storm because of his lack of experience.

But Zhong Shidao thought about it again, Li Cun was about the same age as Zhao Huan, didn't he still rise up strong, captured half of the Zhao and Song Dynasties, and recovered the Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures that the Han people had failed to recover for more than 200 years.

Thinking of this, Zhong Shidao couldn't help but have some confidence in Zhao Huan.

"I am late to rescue you, but I hope Your Majesty will forgive me. Now that I have arrived, Your Majesty will have nothing to worry about."

As soon as Zhong Shidao said this, Zhao Huan was so moved that he wanted to cry.

For a long time, the group of ministers around Zhao Huan almost didn't understand military affairs, even Xu Churen only knew a little about it.

Zhao Huan felt that it was because of this that he was bullied by Li Cun to such an extent.

Now, the old general Zhong Shidao came, and said "Your Majesty has no worries", which made Zhao Huan feel warm in his heart. Zhao Huan felt like a child who was bullied and finally waited for his parents to help him fight the war a feeling of.

Zhao Huan repeatedly comforted Mr. Zhong several times, and then asked: "Old Aiqing, plan to come out?"

Master Zhong came up with the countermeasures that he had thought of long ago: "I think that peace is not a plan. How can we encircle the capital for eighty miles? The height of the city is tens of feet, and the millet branch is several years old. Attack also. If you set up a stronghold on the city, and strictly reject it outside the city, and wait for the king's division, the enemy will be trapped within ten months."

Hearing what Zhong Shidao said was a bad thing, Li Bangyan immediately said: "You don't know Zhong Shaobao, the army is fierce, and the firepower is sharp. In the first battle, the west wall was blown down. The capital and high city, under the attack of his firearms, are like It's like paper."

This kind of teacher is really not clear.

But even so, Zhong Shidao still said: "The city is dead, and the people are alive. Today, my 20 Qin King's division has arrived, and hundreds of thousands of troops inside and outside the city are showing horns. The army outside the city will be rescued by the king's division, how dare the army attack the city with all their strength like before?"

At present, the Song army who has arrived at the city of Bianliang in Tokyo, besides the western army on Jingyuan Road and Qinfeng Road led by Zhong Shidao and Yao Pingzhong, Zhang Jun and Han Shizhong on Yanyan Road, Wang Yang and Ma Qian on Huanqing Road , among Qinfeng Road's breeders, as well as the Fuzhou soldiers led by Zhe Keqiu and Zhe Yanzhi, and other Qin Wang's divisions, as well as Liu Guangguo, Yang Kesheng, and Li Bao's soldiers and horses, they are said to be 20 people, and most of them are capable The Western Army who is good at fighting.

In addition, the divisions of Jingdong and Jingxiqin led by generals such as Ma Zhong and Fan Qiong.

In addition, the original Song Army in Bianliang City, Tokyo.

Don't look at the Qianjun, who also came to [-] to [-] reinforcements twice.

But in terms of military strength, the Song army still has a greater advantage.

but--

If you take into account the powerful combat power of the dry army and the sharpness of the dry army's weapons.

In fact, Zhong Shidao did not beat Li Cun's confidence.

After all, Li Cun has never been defeated in a single battle since his debut, and he is truly invincible.

The key point is that the Song Army does not actually have a huge advantage in winning the Qianjun Army.

Therefore, Zhong Shidao pulled back the words again: "However, my Song Dynasty has made peace with Dagan, so it is not good to completely deny and abolish it. For the current plan, gold and silver will be given to them according to the number. If they are still good, they will not retreat." , must fight with him! As for the cession of Hebei and Hedong, Baozhou is where the ancestral mausoleum is located, so it is not appropriate to cede it."

Zhao Huan felt that what Zhong Shidao said was very reasonable, and then asked Zhong Shidao to discuss specific countermeasures with Li Bangyan and other ministers.

When he came to Dutang, Zhong Shidao immediately challenged Li Bangyan: "The capital city is the strongest city in the world, why did you make peace after only one battle?"

Li Bangyan replied: "The country has no soldiers, and the army looks down on it. The capital was almost destroyed in World War I, so we had to negotiate a peace."

Master Zhong said: "War is war, and defense is defense. War needs soldiers, and those who understand soldiers can form a strong combat force. At that time, only one decree from His Majesty was needed. Over 16 years old and under 50 years old, They are all warriors, they are sent out with weapons, and they are divided into pieces and divided into groups to defend them. There are millions of people in the capital, millet branches for several years, and a complete set of armor. Using this method, even if there is no army of 100 million, there are still 80 troops. What is it? No soldiers?"

Li Bangyan defended: "I don't practice martial arts, so I don't know there is such a method."

Zhong Shidao smiled: "If you don't practice martial arts, don't you hear about ancient offensives and defenses?"

Li Bangyan was speechless.

Zhong Shidao asked again: "When I heard that the enemy was coming, why didn't the people outside the city clear the fields and retreat into the city? I heard that a large number of people have been used by the enemy because of the enemy's small kindness and righteousness, and turned into enemies of our Song Dynasty? "

Li Bangyan defended: "At that time, there was no time to clear the field, so we only had to fortify the wall."

Zhong Shidao smiled again: "So flustered, so flustered."

All the generals around Zhongshi laughed.

After laughing, Master Zhong said solemnly: "The gold belt around the waist of the gentleman is taken off and handed over to the enemy. If one day the enemy asks for the head of the gentleman, what should the gentleman do?"

Li Bangyan and other prime ministers left Zhong Shidao speechless, and some even showed shame.

After Zhao Huan heard about this, he immediately appointed Zhong Shidao as the inspector, Shaobao, Tongzhi Privy Council officer, and soon appointed him as the edict envoy.

At the same time, Li Cun also learned of how Zhong Shidao entered the city.

Li Cun first pushed the little school who chose to retreat with a hundred cavalry against the twenty cavalry to the end, and beat him with a hundred army sticks.

——Li Cun can tolerate the defeat of the generals of the army, but he cannot tolerate the soldiers of the army fleeing without fighting, and the strength of one's own side is still five times that of the opponent. What reason is there to leave without fighting?

Then Li Cun went to the end of the direct commander and supervisor of the infantry battalion that had been crushed by Zhong Shidao. All down three levels.

——The infantry of the dry army is not ineffective against the horse army. The tiger squatting cannon, thunderbolt, spear formation, and chariots can all cause damage to the horse army. As long as you fight with your heart, it is definitely impossible to let the teacher know Eight thousand cavalrymen marched into Bianliang City, Tokyo without even a hair being injured, so this infantry battalion had a big problem, and since it had a problem, Li Cun had to undergo major surgery on it.

After that, Li Cun ordered to shrink his troops and stop besieging the city.

——Li Cun just took this opportunity to show weakness to the Zhao and Song Dynasty and prepare for the big fish in the future.

Zhao Huan was ecstatic when he heard that the Gan army was no longer besieging the city. He hurriedly called Mr. Zhong over, and laughed loudly, "It's because he is afraid of you."

On the contrary, Zhong Shidao became more and more vigilant in his heart, thinking that Li Cun must have deep intentions in shrinking his troops.

After leaving the palace, Zhong Shidao immediately sent several brave soldiers of the Western Army out of the city to capture three dry soldiers and returned.

Zhong Shidao ordered one of the three Ganjun soldiers to tell the truth about the Ganjun.

The dry soldier didn't say anything.

Zhongshi Dao ordered the man to behead the soldier who did not obey his order in front of the other two soldiers.

Zhong Shidao asked the same question to the second army soldier.

To Zhong Shidao's surprise, the soldier in the army closed his eyes directly: "I just want to die quickly."

After hearing the words of the teacher, Zhong couldn't help being moved.

Zhong Shidao has used this method to torture many people in his life, and this is the first time someone has not feared death after seeing his companion killed.

Zhong Shidao thought to himself: "It is better for Li Cun to rule the army than to make the pawns so brave and fearless."

At this moment, Zhong Shidao couldn't help thinking: "Can the last name in this world be Zhao?"

Kind of teacher has been 76 years old, and his willpower is firm, so it is naturally impossible to give birth to the idea of ​​changing the family.

Therefore, Zhong Shidao quickly suppressed these distracting thoughts and ordered to kill this soldier he admired very much.

Zhong Shidao looked at the third soldier and asked the same question.

The third army soldier also wanted to die like the first two army soldiers. He stammered and said, "I just want...just be quick...quick..."

The word "death" couldn't be said by the third soldier.

Seeing this, Yao Pingzhong said to Yang Kesheng next to him: "If this person dies, he will lose everything. His parents will have nothing to depend on, and his wives and concubines belong to others. If he has children, it will be even worse, and his surname will be changed. Tsk tsk~ "

Hearing Yao Pingzhong's words, the third army soldier couldn't hold back, and then he kowtowed three times in the direction of Qingcheng, and said in his mouth: "Your Majesty, Li Mo is useless, greedy for life and afraid of death, blessed with great grace! "

After kowtowing to Li Cun, Li Mo sat on the ground as if he had lost his soul, and said silently: "Everyone in our army wants to fight, especially Zhao Li, who is deeply ashamed of not breaking Bianliang City last time. If he wants to negotiate a peace, he will definitely be able to break Bianliang City, the morale of the whole army will remain high, and the food and grass will be sufficient, but the emperor does not call for war, saying that war is to serve politics, and achieving political goals is the ultimate goal. In the battle of meaning, our army will not fight the Bianliang City, which is at your fingertips..."

After listening to Li Mo's words, the wrinkles on Zhong Shidao's face became deeper.

Afterwards, Daoist Chong ordered the two beheaded dry army soldiers to have their stomachs gutted to test the food in their stomachs.

As a result, the stomachs of the two dry soldiers were full of rice, fish and vegetables.

It can be concluded from this that there must be no shortage of food among the dry army, and it is also very abundant.

Soon after, Zhao Huan ordered that Zhong Shidao be the official of the Privy Council, serve as the Xuanfu envoy of Tokyo Ji, Hehe River, and take Yao Pingzhong as the capital of the Xuanfu Division, and the Xuanfu Division will uniformly command the Western Army and the division of the Sifangqin King.

At the same time, Zhao Huan also assigned the two front and rear armies outside the city, which were originally under the command of the Xingying Division, to the Xuanfu Division.

According to Zhao Huan's meaning, he actually wanted to hand over all the soldiers and horses to the command of Zhong Shidao.

But this aroused strong opposition from the chief ministers headed by Li Bangyan.

In the end, Zhao Huan followed the advice of Li Bangyan and other ministers, and asked Xu Churen to command the soldiers and horses in the city. In addition, he issued a special imperial decree, so that Xu Churen and Zhong Shidao should not belong to each other and restrain each other.

Both Zhong Shidao and Xu Churen were disappointed by this, and there was some estrangement between them.

Let's not talk about how Xu Churen adjusted the defense of the city.

It is only said that after the dry army shrunk its strength, Zhong Shi Dao gathered the divisions of the king outside the city together, and then divided them into two villages, one village was stationed in the southwest, the other village was stationed in the northeast, and the dry army was stationed in the northwest and Southeast, the two sides are in a state of confrontation.

A few days later, at a place called "Banqiao" in the west of the city, there was a small-scale confrontation between the Qian army and the Song army. Under Li Cun's personal instructions, the Qian army deliberately lost.

That night, Zhong Shidao sent troops to surprise the Qian army and set fire to Dongkuo, the horse prison.

The next night, Li Cun ordered the Qian army to retreat five miles to avoid the attack of the Song army.

After these two incidents, Zhong Shidao's prestige among the Song army reached a new high, and Zhao Huan became more and more inflated, but Xu Churen, who was quite glorious before, began to become lonely.

In addition, the soldiers and horses controlled by Xu Churen are only the left, right and middle armies of the city's battalion division.

Compared with the Xuanfu Division who cultivates the way of teachers, the authority of Xu Churen's Operations Division is almost incomparable.

In order to show his existence, Xu Churen found an opportunity to say: "I have more than [-] troops to serve the king, and we can gather another [-] troops in the city. They have already entered the important place alone, just like tigers and leopards thrown into the trap, they should be taken by plan."

After a pause, Xu Churen said again: "For the current policy, it is better to divide the troops to restore the northern cities of Ji, and attack them as soon as the rangers come out, and approach the bandit camp with heavy troops, and do not fight against the wall, just like Zhou Yafu who imprisoned the seven kingdoms. When the food is exhausted and the men and horses are exhausted, then the generals will call on them, take the oath, return to the east of the Hebei River, let them return, cross halfway and then attack them, this is a sure-fire strategy."

Zhong Shidao also believed that the east of Hebei could not be ceded, otherwise there would be endless troubles, so he also said: "As soon as Yao Gu led Xi and the passers-by, our army did have the power to fight the Qian army. It is where the ancestral mausoleum is located, it must not be cut off, it is better to increase the number of coins as a way to slow down the army, otherwise there is only one war."

Zhao Huan thought so.

However, the peace negotiation faction headed by Li Bangyan was full of doubts and worries about Zhao Song Dynasty's intention to tear up the peace treaty they had negotiated with great difficulty, and took the initiative to attack the Dagan Dynasty.

Li Bangyan and other advocates of peace think that it is too risky to take the initiative to attack the Gan army. Once the army of the Zhao Song Dynasty cannot defeat the Gan army, all their previous efforts will be in vain, and the Zhao Song Dynasty will also be destroyed. disaster.

Therefore, Li Bangyan and other advocates of peace argued hard with reason and advised Zhao Huan not to take any risks.

But when Zhao Huan thought about the grievances he had suffered before, he felt useless, and he imagined that if he could defeat Li Cun, then his regime would be stable, and it might even become the cornerstone of his eternal emperor. uncertain.

As a result, with the support of Zhao Huan, the main combat faction won a complete victory this time.

Later, this controversy spread out without knowing how, and it aroused heated discussions and even endless debates between the Zhao Song court and people from all walks of life.

in fact--

All this was caused by Zhao Huan.

In the previous period, due to the lack of troops here in Tokyo, Zhao Huan was afraid that Bianliang City in Tokyo would be lost, and he was afraid that he would become the king of subjugation, so he adopted the suggestion of Li Bangyan and others to negotiate a peace, and was keen to negotiate a peace.

At that time, it can be said that Zhao Huan tried every means to search for gold and silver, hoping to spend money to cede land for peace.

But now, more than 20 Qinwang's divisions have come, and many people such as Yao Gubu are still on the way. In addition, there are twice as many troops in Bianliang City in Tokyo as there are in the Gyeonggi area.

The key point is that the famous general of the Western Army, Zhong Shidao, has come, which makes Zhao Huan feel that he has stood up, and no one can bully him, the emperor of the Zhao Song Dynasty.

Therefore, Zhao Huan is now keen to start a war against Li Cun, hoping to defeat Li Cun, do what his father Zhao Ji failed to do, and restore his lost reputation by avenging his shame.

Zhao Huan went from unscrupulous to seek peace, to a 180-degree change, and became determined to compete with Li Cun. Although the speed of the change was fast, it did not violate human nature and basic logic.

But the problem is, after Zhao Huan had the idea of ​​going to war with Li Cun, he immediately became impatient.

Originally, Zhong Shidao and others had already decided on a strategic strategy and planned to launch an attack on the Gan army on the [-]th of next month.

The reason why Zhong Shidao and others chose to send troops on this day is that, firstly, an Yin-Yang family calculated that the sixth day of February would be the "Li Xingshi"; The teacher should have arrived in Bianliang City, Tokyo, so that they can be more sure of Zhong Shidao.

But Zhao Huan's mind is now full of Li Cun blackmailing him, the emperor, and occupying his two younger sisters. The key point is that in the future, people in the world will cast aside him because of these things.

Therefore, Zhao Huan desperately wanted to defeat Li Cun, avenge his shame, and even revenge.

Therefore, Zhao Huan sent his servants five times a day to look for Zhong Shidao, and asked Zhong Shidao if he could send troops in advance to fight to the death with the Gan army?

But Zhong Shidao, who has fought all his life, knows that fighting is not a child's play, and the opponent is Li Cun, who is like a god of war. Haven't arrived yet and played in such a hurry?

Therefore, Zhong Shidao resolutely rejected Zhao Huan's naive idea, and still followed their plan in advance to wait for the arrival of Yao Gubu and Qin Wang's teacher, and then fight Li Cun when Zhao Song Dynasty reached its peak. This national war.

Zhao Huan was very disappointed by Zhong Shi's "cowardly" performance!
Zhao Huan thought, since Zhen's army is much larger than Li Cun's, why can't he seek revenge from Li Cun?

Zhao Huan was very unwilling.

Therefore, Zhao Huan pinned his hopes on Yao Pingzhong, the governor of the capital.

Yao Pingzhong is the representative of young generals in the Western Army. He is brave and good at fighting. As early as his time, he captured a large number of Xixia people in the battle with Xixia Zangdihe. He became famous in the first battle. It is called "Little Taiwei".

But Yao Pingzhong was too rebellious, so he couldn't like Tong Guan, who was in charge of the Western Army at the time, and was suppressed by Tong Guan for a long time.

Fortunately, Yao Pingzhong is the adopted son of Yao Gu, and the Yao family is one of the best military families in the Western Army and has great influence in the Western Army.

This is why Yao Pingzhong has not declined, and now he has become the ruler of the capital at a young age.

Yao Pingzhong was very grateful to Zhao Huan, who promoted him vigorously.

Therefore, Zhao Huan summoned Yao Pingzhong to the palace to play the right game. After learning that Zhao Huan wanted to fight the Qian army in advance, Yao Pingzhong followed Zhao Huan's words: "All the soldiers want to fight quickly."

Hearing what Yao Pingzhong said, Zhao Huan was overjoyed. He felt that he had finally found the right person, and a young man like him had courage. He might be too old to be a teacher, so old that he lost his vigor.

But although Zhao Huan was about to die of joy in his heart, he still suppressed the joy in his heart, and said to Yao Pingzhong: "However, Xuanfu doesn't want to fight quickly."

Yao Pingzhong knew that Zhong Shidao didn't want to go to war immediately, so he must have some concerns about Zhong Shidao, and he still believed in Zhong Shidao's judgment.

But Yao Pingzhong didn't want to disappoint Zhao Huan, and he didn't want to lose the opportunity to win Zhao Huan's favor, so he immediately said: "I am willing to lead the army to attack the dry camp at night, capture the emperor alive, and welcome the two concubines back home."

This was exactly what Zhao Huan wanted to hear, and he immediately promised Yao Pingzhong: "If he succeeds, he will be bestowed with a Yue."

On the same day, Zhao Huan asked the sorcerer Chu Tianjue to calculate which day would be suitable for robbing the camp?

After calculation, Chu Tianjue believed that the day of victory was Dingyou of February, which is the first day of February.

Therefore, Yao Pingzhong decided to lead his troops to attack the dry camp at night on the first night of February.

Yang Kesheng, who carried out the plan to rob the camp together with Yao Pingzhong, said to Zhao Huan: "This trip is close to death, and I am afraid that I will lose the trust of the country to negotiate peace. "

——This is Yang Kesheng's preparation. If he and Yao Pingzhong fail to rob the camp, they will take the responsibility of tearing up the peace treaty for the Zhao Song Dynasty.

Yang Kesheng was so thoughtful and responsible, which moved Zhao Huan greatly. He felt that with such generals in the Zhao Song Dynasty, how could it be impossible to turn things around? !
Therefore, Zhao Huan now firmly believes that Yao Pingzhong and Yang Kesheng will be able to successfully attack the camp, capture Li Cun alive and let him take revenge...
