After Zong Ze's death, he left behind a situation that could be both dead and alive: internally, the Bianliang soldiers were still united in the shadow of Zong Ze, and externally, Zong Han's troops had not yet come out of weakness for a while, and if Zong Ze's successor could continue his policy, the situation in the Central Plains would still be promising. Although after Zong Ze's death, there was no one in Bianliang City who had enough prestige to control Cao Guangbi in Hedong and Wang Shizhong in Shandong, his son Zong Ying had been in Rongmu for a long time, and he was known for his morale, and the generals of Bianliang were inclined to inherit his father's responsibility.

However, in this matter, Zhao Gou's court acted quickly, and the request of the Bianliang generals to "father and son" was vetoed by Zhao Gou without any leeway, and another minister Du Chong was sent to replace Zong Ze.

Du Chong did three things after he arrived in Bianliang.

The first is to no longer recognize the legitimacy of the Two Rivers Rebels. For more than a year, the reason why Zong Ze was able to hold Bianliang relied on turning thieves into generals, but the Southern Song Dynasty court did not trust these reckless troops. Therefore, as soon as Du Chong came, hundreds of thousands of people gathered near Bianliang turned into thieves and invaded the Central Plains, Shandong, and Huaibei to continue their plundering business.

The second thing Du Chonggan did was to step up the transportation of materials from various states and counties in the Central Plains to Jiangnan. Bianliang's economic environment had deteriorated so much that the funds to raise the army were only three months old when Zong Ze died, and now transporting the few remaining family funds to Jiangnan in large quantities would be tantamount to making matters worse. Once Bianliang's money and food are exhausted, not only will it be impossible to continue to build fortifications, but even the defensive ring that has been formed will not be able to be maintained. With the deterioration of law and order and the economic environment, merchants gradually abandoned the area.

The third thing Du Chong did was to transfer the elite soldiers of Bianliang to Jiangnan one after another, and at the same time urge the princess of Chu to go south as soon as possible.

As soon as these three things were done, not only did the Bianliang army suffer a big blow in less than half a month, but even the anti-Jin army that Zong Ze easily promoted collapsed. When Zong Ze was running the Central Plains, the Lianghe region was all strong and powerful, which not only greatly limited the activity ability of the Jin army, but also served as a response for Zong Ze to raise troops on the Northern Expedition. But now Zong Ze died before he left the school, Du Chong did the opposite, and people with lofty ideals in the world were all disappointed, and those who were still loyal to the Song family crossed south one after another, and those who were willing to protect their homeland either focused on Dengzhou, or looked forward to Shangdang, and Bianliang, the hub of the Central Plains war, was broken without a fight.

Originally, Zonghan's main force had withdrawn to the river, and Zongfu had also retreated to the north of the Daimyofu, but at this time, he was overjoyed to hear that Zongze had died, and decided to launch a fourth large-scale southern invasion. The main force is still divided into east and west, ready to meet in the Central Plains, and sent Lou Room to run Shaanxi with partial divisions, Yinshu can be tun Taiyuan, Yelu Yu to stay in the clouds. Zong Han and Zong Fu's troops were invincible for thousands of miles. In June and July, Liu Qi, who had taken advantage of the scorching heat to advance step by step to the vicinity of Cangzhou, was also forced to retreat more than 200 miles in three days.

When Du Chong heard that the Jin soldiers were coming, he was shocked and had no choice, but he urged Zhao Tanger's departure to the south day and night, Zhao Tanger'er couldn't shirk it, Wen Tiaoyu said: "Princess, the current situation in Bianliang can't be left!" It's just that Jiangnan can't go! Why don't we find a gap, disguise ourselves to go out of the city, and go boating in the East China Sea, don't be this princess of Raushzi! At this time, she still had He Han and others available by her side, thinking that it should not be a problem for these people to escort a few of them back to the Han Department.

But Zhao Ju'er shook her head when she heard this: "Sister, my identity now is different from the beginning, thousands of people are staring, and I can't leave." ”

Wen Tiaoyu was stunned, and knew that what Zhao Ju'er said was reasonable: now not only Zhao Gou cares about her, but the soldiers of the Central Plains respect her, and even Zonghan Zongfu regards her as one of their targets. At the moment, he said: "How is that good! This Du Chong is a wine bag rice bucket, which is not comparable to Master Zong! We can't afford to sit in a dangerous city here, can we? Do you really want to go back to Jiangnan? ”

Zhao Tanger said: "I can't stay in Bianliang, but I don't want to go to Jiangnan." Now there are still places where there is strength to resist gold, one is Shangdang, and the other is Dengzhou......" She pondered for a moment and said: "Sister, let's go to Dengzhou, how can I say that Wang Shizhong and I also have a relationship, seeing that his attitude towards me is quite respectful, maybe I can get help there." ”

Dengzhou is close to Hanbu, and he is willing to go to Dengzhou to Wen Diaoyu, but he is quite worried: "But Du Chong won't let us go!" ”

Zhao Ju'er snorted and said, "Can he stop me?" ”

Wen Tiaoyu said: "He has soldiers in his hands!" ”

"Bing?" Zhao Tanger'er said: "Du Chong came empty-handed to replace Master Zong. At present, the soldiers of Bianliang may not listen to his words to embarrass me! ”

Wen Tiaoyu was stunned when she heard this, and looked at Zhao Tanger'er in a daze, Zhao Ju'er saw it and asked, "Sister, what's wrong?" Why do you see me like that? ”

"No, nothing." Wen Tiaoyu sighed: "I just suddenly found out that you have really grown up, princess......"

Zhao Ju'er immediately sent someone to invite Hu Anguo and others to discuss, saying that he hoped to go to Dengzhou to help Wang Shi defend Shandong, Juan Guo said: "This matter is feasible, but it needs the support of a large army to get it." ”

Zhao Ju'er said: "General Zong Ying and General Wang Xuan haven't left yet, I want to ask Master Hu to talk to them and ask them if they are willing to escort me to Dengzhou." ”

Hu Anguo said happily: "The old minister takes the order." ”

Zong Ying, Wang Xuan and other generals have always respected Zhao Tanger, but recently they have been suppressed by Du Chong, and they are extremely disappointed in the imperial court far away in the south of the Yangtze River, so as soon as Hu Anguo mentioned this, the generals were willing to take the risk of being severely reprimanded by the imperial court to escort the princess eastward.

At that moment, Hu Anguo planned to play a table, apologized to the emperor on behalf of the princess of Chu, and wrote a letter to inform Cao Guangbi and Wang Shizhong of Zhao Juer's eastward journey. On the second day, Zong Ying and Wang Xuan led 7,000 people to support Zhao Tanger's out of the city, Du Chong was shocked when he heard it, and ordered the city gate to be closed, but Zong Ying immediately drank it, where could the soldiers guarding the city gate still take care of Du Chong's order? Du Chong was furious, ordered his cronies to lead tens of thousands of troops to chase him, went for a long time without a response, Du Chong sent someone to urge, and soon saw that the cronies fled back in embarrassment, it turned out that tens of thousands of men were Zhao Tanger's boarding car and turned against each other, and they were willing to go to Shandong with the princess to join the Dengzhou soldiers to fight against Jin.

Zong Fu was holding on to Zhao Li and Liu Qi at this time, and when he heard the news, he sent light cavalry to attack, but was repelled by Wang Xuanyi, who had been on guard for a long time. The Bianliang army passed through Heungin and Jeju and stationed in Yanzhou and Yizhou. Zong Ying sent Zhao Tanger's Dongdu glue into Huaizikou in Laizhou, while Wang Xuan and others joined forces with Zhao Li and Liu Qi to block the Jin people.

Yang Yingqi was pleasantly surprised when he heard about this, and ordered Wang Shizhong and Chen Zhenghui to provide supplies for this group of men and horses with the specifications of the Han army.

This time, there were more than 100,000 people who followed Zhao Ju'er to the east, many of whom were officials, scholars and people from Bianliang, but the direct troops led by Zong Ying, Wang Xuan and others also reached more than 30,000 people.

The arrival of the Bianliang army greatly enriched Shandong's defenses, but the Bianliang area was even more empty, and Bianliang, as a hub, lost its role, and the troops of Shangdang, Dengzhou, and Shaanxi were cut and surrounded by the Jin army. According to Lou Mur's plan, he ate Shaanxi first; According to Yinshuke's plan, he would eat the party first; According to Zongfu's plan, he first disintegrated the soldiers and horses in Shandong, then took advantage of the situation to defeat the Southern Song regime, and finally went back to clean up Hedong and Shaanxi.

Zong Han weighed left and right, and felt that Cao Guangbi had already gained a firm foothold in the party, even if he besieged Longde Mansion, it would take longer to capture this dangerous place than it had been to conquer Taiyuan. Although Shandong has the Bianliang soldiers joined, but the guest army has just arrived, not only harassment is inevitable, but there are also many flaws in the military arrangement, and it should be easier to fight than to fight the party first, and once the victory is won, the strategic significance will be much greater!

At this time, Zong Ze's layout in the Central Plains had been completely disrupted, and once Zong Han and Zong Fu joined forces, if the Han Department did not increase the number of troops and horses, it was really difficult to say how long Shandong could hold out. And once Shandong's forces collapse, not only will the Southern Song Dynasty regime be completely exposed to the iron hooves of the Jin soldiers, but even the Han Department will suffer from the wounds of broken arms! And Shangdang will become a lonely city!

"Gongmei, you see how long it will take to defeat this Shandong." In the city of Datong Mansion, Korean enterprises are drinking tea with Han Fang. After Liu Yanzong's death, he became the prime minister of the Jin State, and was fully responsible for the logistics of the Jin army.

Han Fang closed his eyes, not knowing whether he was drinking tea or thinking about Han Qixian's question, and it took a long time before he opened his eyes and said with a smile: "The chess game played by Zong Zebu has been broken, and it is difficult for the Song people to fight one or the other like half a year ago. No matter how long the Shandong battlefield lasts, in short, in the end, our Dajin will definitely win. Now that the second prince has passed away, the power of the prime minister is tilted towards the government and the opposition, and since the prime minister has gained power, the two of us will have the opportunity to 'help the world'! ”

Soon the news came, not only Zong Han and Zong Fu joined the division in the Shandong battlefield after the victory, even the Longde Mansion also came from the good news, it turned out that Cao Guangbi lost the support of Bianliang, and once again fell into the predicament of being surrounded by enemies on all sides, at this time, under the pressure of Yinshuke, the defense line was constantly shrinking, and now the territory of the Zhongwu Army in Longde Mansion has lost seven out of ten.

Han Qi was overjoyed after receiving the good news first, and said to Han Fang with a smile: "Gongmei is not bad, the big thing will be successful, or it will be within the year!" As long as Shandong is in Shandong, Emperor Song will have nothing to hide. After taking Jianghuai and pulling out the party, several territories in the Han Department became small nails in the corners. At that time, as long as we ban the sea, the Han Department will be trapped within three years, the Han Department will be chaotic within five years, and the Han Department will be peaceful without a war within ten years! ”

Han Fang smiled and said, "What Xiangye said is, what he said." Suddenly he looked in the northeast direction, thoughtful.

Han Qi first asked, "What is Gongmei thinking?" ”

Han Fang smiled: "I'm thinking, that person will be useless at that time." ”

Han Qi was stunned for a moment, understood, and said with a smile: "That's natural." But after all, he has the merits of my Dajin, and he is the relative of the horse, so he thinks that his life should be saved, but his domineering temper in the past is about to be reined in. Hehe, don't look at him now, he is still alive, when the Han Department is finished, he will still have to pick up his tail and be a man! ”

Han Fang smiled and said, "Does Xiangye still hate him for his rudeness when he came to Datong a few months ago?" ”

Han Qixian sneered: "This is nature! Now he refuses to bend his knees to the prime minister, but I dare to say that he will have to nod his head in the face of Gongmei at that time! ”

Han Fang smiled and said, "Then I don't dare to be." Whether he has the right or not, he is a hero after all. ”

Han Qixian sneered: "Hero? Waiting for a big event will definitely become a bear! ”

Han Fang bowed his head and said: "Yes, yes, before the big event is decided, God knows who is the hero and who is the bear!" ”

Han Qixian suddenly sneezed, and Han Fang hurriedly said: "Xiangye, the weather is getting cold, you are now burdened with a heavy responsibility, you have to take care!" ”

Han Qi said first: "I can save it, I can save it." ”

Suddenly, an official hurriedly came to report: The group that was guarded in Cloud City had escaped last night!

It turned out that after the Jin army invaded the south, not only was it isolated and unable to protect Zhi Yanchong, but even weapons and horses were confiscated, and he fell into the same predicament of house arrest as Zhi Yanchong.

Han Qixian was taken aback and hurriedly ordered people to search strictly, but there was no news after searching for a long time, and only heard rumors on the second day that a group of suspicious people were heading to the northwest. Han Qixian was depressed in his heart, and Han Fang explained: "This kind of illness is just a young general, and these people have no weapons and horses, so they can't make any climate." At this time, going to the northwest, most of them are also defecting to their old master, Xiao Tienu, and it will not have any impact on the overall situation. ”

It's right for Korean companies to think about it first, and they don't take this matter very seriously from then on.
