Chapter 337: The Battle of Tokyo 26

Just as Wang Xiu was out of the city, Qin Hui unexpectedly visited Zhong Liqiu. "Words * love * first * hair

"My lord, Wen Shi is out of the city, I don't know what my lord thinks about this battle" Qin Hui was very solemn and his attitude was also very respectful.

Zhong Liqiu seemed a little surprised by Qin Hui's visit, when he listened to Qin Hui's straightforward question, he understood Qin Hui's thoughts, and said lightly: "Huizhi is a sage, it is his duty to do his best for the court, Wenshi is a genius of the world, and I hope that Huizhi will do it well." ”

Qin Hui didn't get what he wanted, he was the standard main battle faction, and the purpose of coming to visit Zhong Liqiu was obvious. It is an indisputable fact that the Huangsong Bank has its own system, and its reserves exceed that of Taifu Temple.

Zhong Liqiu, as the actual person in charge of the Imperial Song Bank, has a large amount of money, and money is necessary for war, otherwise you don't have to talk about it, the reason why Zhao Heng is indifferent is that Zhong Liqiu refused to withdraw money from the bank, the reason is very simple, the bank is not opened for captives, but the seeds of the future of the Great Song Dynasty, and the money in it belongs to the people of the world, and no one can use the capital.

"What my lord said is that Wen Shi is indeed both civil and military, but the situation is difficult, there is a war outside the city, and the court is short of money" Qin Hui still licked his face.

Zhong Liqiu smiled and said lightly: "It's just the imperial history, why, when did you go to Taifu Temple?"

Qin Hui's old face is mighty, he really came to set Zhong Liqiu's style, or did he come volunteering, and he told Wang Xiu yesterday that the imperial court has run out of money He admires Zhong Liqiu's style very much, and he is also interested in Zhao Heng never removing Zhong Liqiu, and the problem that Wang Xiu ignored was keenly aware of it.

"My lord, the imperial court lacks money, how can it use soldiers, the Imperial Song Bank belongs to the imperial court, seeing that the army of King Qin is gathered, the supply of grain and grass is not good, and the Taifu Temple and the household department are empty." Qin Hui was heartbroken.

"Half of the world's money is in the capital, how can you say that there is no money" Zhong Liqiu knew it, but he was not salty or indifferent.

Qin Hui was dumbfounded, yes, you took away the official treasury and private wealth and gave it to the Jurchens, and in the end you couldn't even get the military salary, who is to blame

"By the way, I heard that the official family punished Liang Shicheng," Zhong Liqiu asked intentionally or unintentionally.

Qin Hui hurriedly said: "Back then, Chen Dong wrote to prevent the official family from succeeding to the throne, Liang Shi became the first evil, the official family found out and was furious, and ordered Liang Shicheng and Wang Huang to collude with the big crime, and assigned the deputy envoy of the Changhua Army, but unfortunately Wang Hao had already surrendered to the law. ”

Zhong Liqiu's face was expressionless, and he said lightly: "If you try to get lucky, you will inevitably die after all, if you know today, why bother in the first place." ”

"My lord, the court is in trouble, and His Majesty has great hopes for my lord." Qin Hui still turned his words back, hoping that Zhong Liqiu could solve the problem of military spending.

"Yes, you have to put the world first" Zhong Liqiu sighed softly.

On the night of the first month of February in the first year of Jingkang, the weather was a little gloomy, drowsy and did not see the stars and moonlight, the cold wind was still strong, and the officials on duty at the head of the city hid under the battlements one after another, avoiding the bone-chilling cold wind, and curled up to keep warm.

Yao Pingzhong, Yang Kesheng and others, Jingyuan Xihe soldiers 7,000 people quietly went out of the city, went straight to Mu Huogang, just said that the movement of more than 10,000 people out of the city is not small, the residents on both sides of the street in the dead of night, clearly heard the sound of people and horses.

The strange thing is that as the commander of the Xuanfu Division and the Imperial Camp Division, the Seed Master Dao and Li Gang are unusual. Seed Master Dao stayed in the city that night, and did not ask about Yao Pingzhong's actions, and Li Gang was unable to take charge of the sudden illness, and lived in the camp of the Imperial Camp Division at night.

At this time, Zhao Huan was so excited that he couldn't sleep at night, and sent the eunuch Zhang Quan to hold the imperial book to pass the edict to Li Gang, "Pingzhong has done a great job, and Qing can lead the imperial battalion soldiers out of Fengqiu to respond to Pingzhong's strategy." ”

Li Gang did not send troops, and said in his book that he was seriously ill and unbearable, not to mention that he was originally scheduled to gather all the troops and send them five days later, but under the pretext that he did not know that Yao Pingzhong would send troops tonight, and none of the generals and equipment were properly prepared, so he could not send troops.

Li Gang's attitude made Zhao Huan very dissatisfied, Zhang Quan entered and exited the Imperial Camp Division three times, and finally gave a military order, Li Gang had no choice but to gather the left, right, and middle armies, but they slowly soared, without the slightest hint of urgency.

The vanguard officer Wang Tong led five hundred heavy cavalry to the camp, and crossed two camps in a row, but they were all empty, he couldn't help but be a little puzzled, I am afraid that the Jurchens are prepared, and they want to observe it, but Yao Pingzhong urged the troops again and again, so he had to bite the bullet.

In advance, there were scouts who had already visited these camps, only to see the candlelight and the sound of fighting, there seemed to be no abnormal situation, no wonder Yao Pingzhong didn't believe it.

When Wang Tong arrived at the third village, he found that the Jin soldiers of the brigade surrounded him with bows and crossbows, and had to shout: "Everyone fight to kill." ”

The five hundred cavalry of the forward fought to the death, Yao Pingzhong also understood that he was fooled, the soldiers of the Song army were all dumbfounded, and the fools all understood that they were more than lucky, and they fell into the enemy's plan.

He had no choice but to send Chen Kai to lead the army to support, and at the same time ordered the whole army to form a formation and retreat, but he didn't think that the newly dug trench made the soldiers of the Western Army in western Zhejiang suffer a big loss, and they fell into the ditch too late to unload their armor, and they drowned to death, and even Chen Kai was killed by the cavalry of the Jin Army who came up.

When the sound of Hu Ji was everywhere, the Jurchen cavalry hidden in the dark night was covered with iron armor and fierce eyes in their masks, surrounded from all sides, and constantly attacked the Song army.

Yao Pingzhong is a fierce general, with unimaginable force, galloping through thousands of troops. He shot arrows with guns, whipped swords and slashes, broke through the encirclement layer by layer, and finally broke out of the encirclement and fled. The cavalry of the Jin Army, who intercepted him, was shocked by his bloodshot eyes, and they were afraid that they would be poisoned by him, and they did not dare to approach too much.

He escaped from the desert alone, and did not dare to return to the city, for the sake of the head on his neck, but also for the sake of that little face, he had to grit his teeth and escape in the northwest direction.

Yang Kesheng was not so lucky, he really responded to his words as a scapegoat, and in a panic, the horse stumbled and was captured by the Jin army.

As soon as the sky brightened, the counteroffensive of the main force of the Jin army began, with Zhang Yu, the commander of the front army, Shi Jun, the commander of the right army, Xin Kangzong of the Chinese army, Liu Dian, the commander of the left army, Wang Shigu of the rear army, and Fan Qiong, the commander of the daring army, went out of the Fengqiu Gate to face the battle.

At this time, Wang Xiu was near Tiansi Prison, he did not put his troops into battle, but Qiu Fu repeatedly asked to fight, but he was calmly and politely suppressed.

When he was looking at the map and calculating, Qiu Fu and Li Bao were all draped, and their iron armor hurriedly entered the account. Qiu Fu was also not polite, and said bluntly: "Taiwei Yao's troops have been defeated, and the sealing of Qiu Men is in a fierce battle, we can't wait any longer." Wang Xiu frowned slightly, his eyes fell on Li Bao, and he said in a deep voice: "It seems that he was really fooled, how is the war outside the Fengqiu Gate?"
