Wanyan Agu could not bear the humiliation of the Liao State, and rose up, leading a mere 2,500 people to start the battle of Liao. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 In the first battle, he won a great victory, captured Ningjiang Prefecture, and expanded his army to 3,700 people.

The defenders of the Liao State, who had lost their armor and abandoned their armor, ran back to Emperor Tianzuo in a hurry, crying that the Jurchens had rebelled. Emperor Tianzuo casually ordered: "Rebellion, then take 100,000 people to teach him a lesson." ”

Faced with a strong enemy, Wanyan Aguta decided to launch a surprise attack before the enemy was fully assembled. He said: "As I was about to go to bed, I felt that someone shook my head three times in a row, which was a hint from God, saying that if we go out overnight, we will be victorious, or we will be doomed." ”

It was the middle of winter, and more than 3,000 soldiers listened to his words, and their morale was immediately high. They rode the wind and snow, rushed out of Hedian, and launched an attack on the Liao soldiers who were camping, breaking the ice, and playing in the snow. The Liao soldiers did not expect the Jurchen army to come so quickly, and they were caught off guard for a moment and retreated one after another, and the Jurchens captured countless Liao soldiers, chariots, horses, and grain and grass.

After the victory of Chuhedian, Jurchen soldiers from all walks of life came and returned, and the Jurchen army exceeded 10,000 for the first time.

Huanglong Mansion, located in Jilin, is an important economic town, not far from it, is the hometown of the Liao people. In the twelfth century in northern China, whoever obtained the Huanglong Mansion entered the hinterland and had the psychological advantage of being on top. This is true for the Liao State, and the same is true for the Jin State in the future, Yue Fei resisted the Jin, and made an oath to smash the Yellow Dragon and drink with the king.

Aguta adopted the strategy of encircling the point and sending reinforcements, and only besieged the Huanglong Mansion without attacking it, and must completely annihilate the reinforcements. Sure enough, under the siege, the grain and grass were cut off, and the Liao army abandoned the city and fled. The loss of Huanglongfu shocked the government and the opposition of the Liao State, and Emperor Tianzuo of Liao personally led an army of 700,000 in an attempt to wipe out the nascent Jin State in one fell swoop, when the Jin State had only 20,000 people, and the ratio of the two armies was one to thirty-five.

In order to inspire the morale of the army, Ah Guta, who is nearly half a hundred years old, once again stepped onto the swearing-in platform. He cut his face with a knife, looked up to the sky and cried in front of all the soldiers, saying: "At the beginning, I led you to raise troops so that we would no longer be oppressed by the Liao, so that the Jurchens would have a country of their own. I don't want Emperor Tianzuo to refuse to let me and come to fight in person, we only have two ways now, one is to fight to the death and turn the crisis into safety, and the other is that you take one of me, dedicate it to Emperor Tianzuo, kill my family, surrender to the Khitan, and maybe find a way to live. ”

A Gu fought a bitter scene, which made the blood of 20,000 soldiers boil, and after the two armies fought, the soldiers of the Jin army charged forward one by one, killing one bloody road after another. Just when the two armies were in full swing, there was a rebellion within the Liao Dynasty, a fire broke out in the backyard, and Emperor Tianzuo gave up a golden opportunity to eliminate the Jin army and returned to the army to save himself. Ah Guta seized the opportunity, chased and fought fiercely, and finally caught up with the Liao army in Hubu Dagang, outflanked left and right, and the Liao army was defeated.

This battle was the most incredible battle in the history of human warfare, which showed the extraordinary courage and outstanding military ability of Aguta, and also created a miracle in the world's military history of winning more with less. After this battle, the invincible Great Liao Kingdom collapsed until its destruction.

But in order to completely destroy Liao, Aguta still urgently needed an ally, so he thought of the Northern Song Dynasty. But the nascent Jin State had no experience in diplomacy, Aguta didn't know how to stretch out his diplomatic hand, and Song Huizong, who was obsessed with Jinshi calligraphy and painting, didn't know what was going on in the hinterland of the Liao State. It wasn't until one day that Ma Zhi, an unwilling official of the Liao State, surrendered to the Northern Song Dynasty, and Song Huizong suddenly realized that the confrontation between Liao and Jin was a godsend, so he sent Ma Zhi as an envoy to cross the Bohai Sea and come to the Jin State.

When Ma Zhi found Aguta, the Jin army was attacking the capital of the Liao State, and the Khitan army in the city was holding on. Aguta told Ma Zhi: "After watching the battle, we will talk about the conditions." ”

He immediately ordered the siege of the city, which began in the morning, and before noon, the capital of the world-famous Khitan Empire was captured. The strength of the Jurchens shocked Ma Zhi, who was watching the battle, and he couldn't help but secretly speculate that the Jin soldiers, who had such huge combat effectiveness, could not rely on the military help of the Northern Song Dynasty to overthrow the Khitan Empire.

Unexpectedly, Aguta, who successfully attacked the city, was still willing to form an alliance with the Northern Song Dynasty. The covenant stipulated that the Jin army would capture the Liao state's Zhongjing Dading Mansion, and the Song army would capture the Liao state's Nanjing and Datong mansions. After the successful destruction of Liao, the land of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun was returned to the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty transferred the New Year's coins originally given to the Liao State to the Jin Dynasty. This covenant was the famous maritime alliance between Song and Jin.

Once the expectation became a reality, the hesitation in Song Huizong's character flared up again, and the order to prepare for war was delayed. Ah Guda waited from September to the first month of the second year, and felt that it was not a way to wait any longer, so he finally sounded the horn of destroying Liao and took Zhongjing and Xijing directly.

Seeing the great victory of the Jin soldiers, Song Huizong slowly dispatched troops. The decay of the Song army and the poor leadership of Song Huizong made it impossible to capture a Yanjing city for a long time, and it was not conquered until the Jin soldiers rushed to help. The Liao State perished, and the Song Dynasty finally regained the territory lost for 188 years, but its tragic fate really began, and the Sea Alliance made the Jin State completely see the corruption and incompetence of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Before dying, he instructed his nephew Wanyan Zonghan: "The destruction of Liao has been completed, and we are ready to attack the Song Dynasty." ”

The disgrace of Jingkang, the Jurchen tribe from the north captured Bianjing, the capital of the Northern Song Empire, and kidnapped the monarch of the Northern Song Dynasty, as well as almost all the royal families, harems, officials, and even more than 100,000 civilians in the capital.

The Song and Jin countries formed a maritime alliance, agreeing that Jin would attack Liaozhongjing, and Song would attack Liao Yanjing, and after the matter was completed, the sixteen states of Yanyun would be returned to Song, and the rest of the land would be returned to Jin. Later, the Jin soldiers broke through Liaozhongjing, and the 200,000 troops of the Song Dynasty were defeated, Yanjing was captured by the Jin, Emperor Tianzuo was captured, and the Liao State was destroyed. The battle of Jin to destroy Liao seriously exposed the weakness of the Song army's combat effectiveness, and the Song court actually demanded that the Jin people fulfill the covenant, but the Jin people pointed out that the Song people did not implement the conditions for attacking Yanjing, and the Song court used the year coins to buy back the sixteen states of Yanyun.

After that, the power struggle within the Northern Song Dynasty court was fierce, and Wang Hao became more and more powerful with the credit of recovering Yanyun, and he was at odds with the crown prince Zhao Huan, and plotted to make Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, the crown prince. The right prime ministers, Li Bangyan and Cai You, formed a party to exclude Wang Hao, and Cheng He also impeached Wang Hao for treachery and tyranny, and Wang Hao was dismissed as prime minister.

At this time, Zhu Mian strongly persuaded Huizong to reactivate Cai Jing, an old traitor who was already eighty years old and blind and could not write, and Cai Jing became the consul general of the Taishi, and the specific affairs were controlled by his son Cai Xuan. Bai Shizhong is the left prime minister Dazai, and Li Bangyan is the right minister Shaozai, all according to the will of Cai Jing's father and son.

Zhang Jue, a general of the Liao State, surrendered to the Song Dynasty in Pingzhou, and fled to Yanshan Mansion in the Northern Song Dynasty due to his deeds. The Yanshan Mansion of the Northern Song Dynasty had no choice but to behead Zhang Jue, causing the Han people in the sixteen states of Yanyun to be dissatisfied.

The Jin State was inclined to make peace with the Song Dynasty, and Wanyan Aguta died of illness, and his younger brother Wanyan Sheng succeeded to the throne and planned to attack the Song Dynasty. Tong Guan, Cai You and Bai Shizhong, Li Bangyan and others rejected Cai Qian, Cai Jing was dismissed again, Tong Guan was named the king of the county, Cai You added Taibao, and the Jin State attacked the Song Dynasty on the grounds of Zhang Jue's incident.

The Jin army was divided into two routes, east and west, south to attack Song, east route to Wanyan Ganli to attack Yanjing, west route to Muhan led the army to Taiyuan, east route Jin soldiers broke through Yanjing, crossed the Yellow River, and south to Bianjing. Song Huizong saw that the situation was critical, and the Zen position was given to the crown prince Zhao Huan, and Zhao Huan ascended the throne in crying and crying, which was for Song Qinzong.

In the first month of the first year of Jingkang, Wanyan Zonghan led the Jin soldiers to attack the city of Bianjing, forcing the Song Dynasty to discuss peace and withdraw the army, and the Jin people demanded 5 million taels of gold and 50 million taels of silver, and ceded the three towns of Zhongshan, Hejian and Taiyuan. In August of the same year, the Jin army attacked the Song Dynasty in two ways, and the Jin and Jin armies met to conquer Bianjing, and Song Qinzong personally went to the Jin military camp to negotiate peace, and was detained by the Jin people.

After Yan Zongwang led the army south, Yu Wenxuzhong, the senator of the Song army, wrote to accuse the imperial court of making mistakes, and using Tong Guan and Wang Hao as the main commanders was the wrong person, and repeatedly suggested to defend the border, but Wang Hao ignored it. At this time, Song Huizong asked Yu Wenxuzhong, who thought that the only way to save people's hearts was to issue an edict to punish himself and reform the maladministration. Huizong asked Yu Wenxuzhong and Wu Min to draft an edict to repent, and called on the garrisons around the country to join the king of Beijing to aid the Beijing division, the main of which was to call the Western Army, the Song Dynasty to defend the Western Xia frontier army, is the most elite troops of the Song Dynasty, Xihe Jingluo Yao Gu, Qin Feng Jingluo to lead the troops in the division.

When Yan Zongwang led his army to invade Zhongshan Mansion, Huizong wanted to abandon Kaifeng Mansion and flee south. Wu Min was the main battle faction at that time, and he tried his best to oppose the escape, and recommended Taichang Shaoqing Li Gang to defend the city. Li Gang played the five strategies of the imperial army, and persuaded Huizong: "If you are not the crown prince, it is not enough to attract the heroes of the world." ”

It was suggested that Huizong abdicate and accept the hearts of the soldiers, and Huizong appointed Wu Min as his subordinate squire to assist the prince. The crown prince Zhao Huan ascended the throne and became Song Qinzong, and changed the name of the next year to Jingkang. Huizong abdicated, called the sect leader Daojun Emperor, and called Emperor Taishang.

In the first month of the first year of Jingkang, Huizong, Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others heard that the Jin army had crossed the Yellow River and fled south overnight. Huizong only took Cai You and a few of his attendants, and in the name of burning incense, he hurriedly fled to Bozhou, and from Bozhou to Zhenjiang; Tong Guan and the palace commander Gao Yu led the Shengjie army and the Praetorian Guard, and caught up with Huizong in Sizhou; Cai Jing led his family to flee to Gongzhou in the name of Hu Cong.

When the news came out, public opinion was in an uproar, and Chen Dong, a student of Tai, and others wrote a book, accusing Cai Jing, Wang Hao, Tong Guan, Liang Shicheng, Li Yan, and Zhu Mian of being the six thieves, saying that the six thieves should be executed for the same crime with different names. Song Qinzong then deposed Wang Hao, Wu Min and Li Gang asked Wang Hao to behead, Kaifeng Prefecture Yin Niechang sent warriors to behead Wang Hao, and Li Yan and Liang Shicheng were given death. Cai Jing and Tong Guan were demoted and exiled in Bozhou, Cai Jing died in Tanzhou on the way to exile, and the Qin sect supervised the imperial history and beheaded Tong Guan. Zhu Mian, Cai You, and Cai Yi were exiled, and they were all beheaded in the penal colony, and Cai Qian was also exiled and died of illness.

Song Qinzong immediately issued an edict after Huizong fled south, and ordered Wu Min, a servant of the door, to be the deputy envoy of the camp of the pro-expedition, Yin Niechang of the Xianmo Pavilion and Kaifeng Mansion, and Li Gang, the squire of the military department, to be the staff officer of the camp envoy. The next day, Prime Minister Bai Shizhong, Li Bangyan and other surrender factions immediately advised Qinzong to abandon the city and flee to Xiangyang Mansion and Dengzhou.

When Li Gang learned about it, he immediately went to the palace to discuss it: "Today's plan is to organize the horses and horses, declare to fight, consolidate the hearts of the people, stick to each other, and wait for the army of King Qin." ”

Qinzong asked, "Who can lead the army?"

Li Gang said that this should be the duty of Prime Minister Bai Shizhong and Li Bangyan, and Bai Shizhong asked Li Gang if he could lead the troops into battle, and Li Gang replied: "If I can govern the army, I am willing to repay the country with death." ”

Song Qinzong then appointed Li Gang as Shangshu Youcheng and Tokyo to stay behind, with Tongzhi Privy Council Li Ze as his deputy, and Nie Chang as the transfer envoy with the army, leading the troops to defend the city. However, on the morning of the third day, when he entered the court, Song Qinzong was moved by the surrender faction and was about to set off to flee south, and Li Gang persuaded Qinzong to stay, and sent a decree saying: "The emperor's decision has been decided, and those who dare to say that they have fled south will be beheaded!"
