In September 1677, Taiyuan, which had been besieged by the Jin soldiers for 250 days, was finally captured by the Jin army in the case of the failure of foreign aid and the lack of food and grass inside.

After the fall of Taiyuan, Zong Han had no worries and divided his troops to occupy Fenzhou, Jinzhou, and Shouyang. And Zongwang also defeated the combined forces of Min and Yansong at Jingcheng, and then returned to capture Zhending.

In early October, the commanders of the eastern and western routes of the Jin Kingdom met in Pingding to discuss the strategy of further southward invasion. At the meeting, the veteran of the Yan Department proposed the strategy of leveling the two rivers first and then taking Bianliang. This strategy is relatively safe, but Zong Han feels that it is too conservative, he believes that if Bianliang cannot be captured, although the prefectures and counties of Lianghe will not be able to defend, if Bianliang is captured, Lianghe will lose the center that can be supported, and he can not take it from below. Zong Wang was also pleased with Zong Han's strategy.

Almost at the same time, Ouyang Shidong crossed Jinmen and Liaokou, and successively discussed with Yang Yingqi and Yang Kaiyuan, Yang Yingqi thought that Zong Han and Zong Wang were in danger with their troops, and this southern invasion would inevitably break through Bianliang first, and then slow down to operate the two rivers.

Yang Yingqi's strategy is to do the opposite: no longer care about the survival of the Great Song Dynasty, and first lay down a shadow to run the two rivers. "The talent of the Jin people to govern the country is insufficient, especially the civil official Tai is half from Yanyun, these people have not been attached for a long time, and they are all Han people, we try to buy them as freely as possible. As for the gentry of the Great Song Dynasty in Lianghe, Tanggu can also open the middle door as much as possible, and collect as much as they want! As long as Zong Han and Zong Wang can't get the power of the two rivers, they won't be able to gain a firm foothold here. If the regular army of the Great Song Dynasty could withstand the offensive of the Jin army, it was up to the Great Song to attract the main force of the Jin army. If the regular army of the Great Song Dynasty was in danger of being completely annihilated, we would organize our subsidiary forces to carry out a major blockade against the Jin army head-on. ”

In terms of specific implementation, Yang Kaiyuan and Aluman coped with the pressure of Wu Qimai in the north, Ouyang Shi was in charge of Hebei, Cao Guangbi was in charge of Henan and Hedong, and Yang Yingqi was in charge of Shandong in addition to the overall situation.

On the side of the Great Song Dynasty, the master heard that Taiyuan and Zhending had been captured, and immediately ordered the soldiers and horses of the west and south to go to King Qinwang of Bianliang. At this time, the troops of the Great Song Dynasty were scattered, and in order to save money, the imperial court did not adopt the suggestion of sending heavy troops to guard the periphery of the Beijing division, so that once the military strength of Hebei and Hedong collapsed, there was no strong defense on the periphery of the Beijing division. Seed Master Dao believes that the current situation is more critical than the last southern invasion of the Jin army, and after thinking about the strength of the two sides and the current situation, he felt that this time Bianliang may be difficult to hold, so he asked the imperial court to move westward, and took advantage of Chang'an to avoid the Jin people's edge, and the matter of the Beijing division guarding the palace was handed over to the soldiers to deal with it with full authority. However, the prime minister felt that it was too faceless for the Jin army to flee while the emperor was still far away, and thought that the suggestion of the seed master was a sign of cowardice, so not only did not adopt it, but also dismissed him again on the grounds that he was seriously ill, and used another civil official, Fan Ne, to lead the Lianghe Xuanfu envoy on behalf of him, and recalled the seed master to Bianliang.

After the removal of the seed master, Zong Wang paralyzed the Great Song Dynasty and pretended to negotiate peace, and the conditions were very generous: the Great Song Dynasty did not need to cut the three towns, as long as he offered five chariots and crowns, and was honored by the Dajin Emperor, and the King of Sukang personally arrived, the peace negotiation could be achieved.

Ouyang Shi smiled after hearing the content of this peace discussion: "Zong Wang's paralysis tactic is too inferior! Two of the three towns were captured by Zongwang Zonghan, could they still spit out the pork they ate? This condition is too loose to be fake, and the pig will believe it! ”

But Zhao Huan and his prime ministers were overjoyed when they heard it, and they really promised the Jin people, and the edict Taichang official gathered to discuss the title of the golden lord, and ordered Zhao Gou, the king of Kang, to immediately go to Zongwang's army as a hostage. Because the previous division had already ordered the soldiers and horses of the west and south to go to King Qin of Bianliang, the Song court made up another edict, ordering the soldiers and horses of all roads not to enter Beijing, so as not to add more noise to the clouds. At this time, Zhang Shuye, the commander of the soldiers and horses of the Southern Song Dynasty, had already gathered an army of 150,000 to prepare to enter Beijing, but after receiving this order, he had to dismiss the soldiers and horses of the southeastern states.

As a result, before King Kang and Zhao Gou went to the Jin camp, the Jin Army's Western Route Army had already crossed the river. The Great Song army of Fangluokou collapsed in the wind.

When the Song court heard about it, he urgently summoned soldiers and horses from all over the world to rush to Beijing to help, and allowed the guards of Lianghe and Shandong to act cheaply, and ordered the royal division to exercise the power to discuss the reinforcement of the generals with the Han Ministry, and asked the Han Ministry to send troops to help in a hurry - but where was the time at this time? Uncle Zhang issued an order to transfer troops in the night, and the states were annoyed by the order of "the wolf is coming, the wolf is gone, and the wolf is coming again", most of them are entrusted with the matter, and the time is too short, and Uncle Zhang only transferred more than 10,000 untrained soldiers in a hurry to go to Beijing to help.

In Tanggu, Chen Xian said to Ouyang Shi: "The Great Song Dynasty is in danger, and this time I am afraid that even the sect will be difficult to preserve." ”

Ouyang Shi asked, "Then how should we start?" ”

Chen Xiandao: "I see what the Seventh General means, he still doesn't dare to clash with the Jin people head-on, but to support the auxiliary military forces to contain the Jin people, so as not to defeat the Dajin family completely." At present, there are two major forces in the Central Plains, one is to resist Jin, and the other is to support the Song Dynasty. Since General Seven is attentive to the matter of resisting gold, we don't have to fight with him, we will do another thing. ”

Ouyang Shi asked: "Fu Song?" ”

"Not bad." Chen Xiandao: "If Bianliang is lost, the situation in the Central Plains will be a struggle between Dajin and the anti-Jin forces, and in the foreseeable future, it is likely that the subordinate forces supported by the Han Ministry and the remnants of the Great Song Dynasty will jointly resist the Jin." We will leave the subordinate forces to the Seven Generals to organize, and the remnants of the Great Song Dynasty will be intervened by us. ”

Ouyang Shida asked with interest: "How to intervene?" ”

Chen Xiandao: "We have no appeal to come forward publicly, and there are still many people who are centripetal to the Zhao family, we can think of a way on this." ”

Almost at the same time, Lin Yi also came to find Cao Guangbi and said: "Second general, now that Bianliang is empty of war preparations, I am afraid that the division of the Quartet King Qin will not be able to come!" Last time, there was a kind of Shaobao who led the western soldiers to rescue, who else can we hope for this time? Let's go quickly. Otherwise, I am afraid that it will be too late when the war comes. ”

Cao Guangbi said: "Wait a little longer." ”

Lin Yi said: "What are you waiting for? ”

The two were discussing the matter, and suddenly Song Ting issued an order to allow Cao Guangbi to organize the militia to help defend the defense.

After the official who gave the order left, Lin Yi walked out from behind the screen and said, "If this order had been given two months earlier, we might have been able to organize a decent army." Let's do it now, where is the time! ”

Cao Guangbi said: "It's better to come late than not at all." And he gave the order. Cao Guangbi had already had a list of soldiers in private, and the organization of the Kongbi Book Society was extremely efficient, and in only half a day's effort, he gathered 3,000 people, divided into three thousand-man teams, Cao Guangbi led the first team, Wang Yan, a strong man who went to Beijing from the upper party to go to Beijing, led the second team, and Li Qiong, a student of Deng Su who had performed well in Chinese martial arts in the last time defending the city, led the third team. Cao Guangbi summoned these 3,000 people to give a lecture and asked them to act in accordance with military orders from this moment on, and to be stationed around the Confucian Publishing House. He also summoned Deng Su, Wang Yan, and Li Qiong to discuss, and Li Qiong asked: "Mr. Cao, now that the public is hot, it is difficult for the capital to defend the capital, do you think Bianliang can hold it this time?" ”

Cao Guangbi said: "Do your best!" ”

Wang Yan said: "Not bad! If Bianliang doesn't defend it, put this life on the head of the city! ”

"No!" Cao Guangbi said: "What is the benefit of dying in danger? Besides, the golden man has not been destroyed, how can we die easily? If Bianliang is lost, I will cross the river to the north, gather righteous people along the road, and go to Hebei and Hedong to fight with the Jinren! Even if you can't mess with his lair, you have to disturb his chickens and dogs! ”

Wang Yan and Li Qiong were both admired and excited when they heard this, and they both said: "Wang Yan (Li Qiong) is willing to go north with Mr. Cao!" ”

Zhou Xiaochang took out the weapons hidden in the Qilin Building and distributed them, while Lin Yi led a horse merchant outside the city into the city, and got a total of 500 horses. There were also five or six hundred horses scattered in the city and belonging to the Han tribe.

Nowhere was around, Lin Yi asked Cao Guangbi: "Second General, do you really want to fight to the death with the Jin people here with such an arrangement?" We are afraid that this little manpower will not affect the entire battle situation. ”

"Fight to the death? Of course not. Cao Guangbi said: "I didn't leave for a long time, just to wait for someone." ”

Lin Yi was shocked in his heart, and said in his heart: "The second general won't already know about the matter of Wen Diaoyu, right?" Worriedly, he asked, "Who?" ”

Who knew that Cao Guangbi's answer surprised him: "Plant less protection." ”

Lin Yiqi said: "Seed less protection? ”

"Yes." Cao Guangbi said: "After returning to Bianliang this time, the illness is getting worse and worse, to put it mildly, I'm afraid that day will be soon." I always felt that he should have something important to say to me when he died, so I kept waiting. ”
