After the fall of Bianliang, the distribution of power in the north of the Hu people and the south of the Han people in the past was completely disrupted, and the political forces in the Central Plains began to show a situation of dogs and teeth. The forces of the Dajin, the Great Song and the Han tribes intersected and penetrated each other, and the distribution of power became extremely complicated.

It has been more than a year since the Jin soldiers invaded the Central Plains, but the real complete control is only Taiyuan, Zhending, Baozhou and other areas close to Yanyun, most of the other areas are still holding on to the Song Dynasty, Zong Han wants to lay down Bianliang, one of the reasons is to get the Song court's edict to cut the land and order the soldiers and civilians of the states and counties of the two rivers to surrender, but Zong Han did not miscalculate the resistance of Bianliang, but miscalculated the integrity of the soldiers and civilians of the two rivers. Hedong and Hebei are the birthplaces of the Central Plains, since the Warring States period, loyalty and courage have penetrated into the roots of its folk customs, although this spirit has been continuously destroyed in recent hundreds of years, but the hundred-legged insects are dead but not stiff, and the folk customs are still very fierce. Although the edict of the Song Dynasty to cut the land was issued, all the prefectures and counties that had not yet fallen in Lianghe did not recognize this chaotic fate of losing power and humiliating the country, except for one Shizhou.

However, during the two southward marches, the Jin army had already conquered many prefectures and counties along the two main roads of Hebei and Hedong, and set up strongholds along the way, such as Taiyuan, Fenzhou, Jinzhou, and Jiangzhou in Hedong, which were controlled by the Jin army. However, the Jin people in the surrounding areas outside these areas did not have enough strength to conquer and rule for a while.

On the other hand, although most of the prefectures and counties in Lianghe were still holding on to the Great Song Dynasty, due to the fact that several major traffic arteries were cut off by the Jin people, strategic places such as Taiyuan and Zhongshan were occupied by the Jin people, and Bianliang as the center had fallen, so although the Song Dynasty still had the largest territorial area in Lianghe, these fragmented territories not only could not form a unified and powerful force, but most of them were not in danger to defend, so in the face of the pressure of the Jin people, there was a danger of collapse at any time.

Compared with the Dajin and the Great Song, the Han controlled the smallest territory in Lianghe - if not at all. Although the local gentry in Cangzhou have only looked forward to the Han Dynasty, they still hang the banner of supporting the Great Song Dynasty; And the same is true of the Shangdang occupied by Cao Guangbi.

Shangdang's Longde Mansion is located in the southeast of Jin, west through the Weisheng Army is the main road in the Hedong region of the Fenhe River Valley, east across Xiangzhou can reach the Yellow River, and Shangdang itself is a dangerous place surrounded by mountains and rivers, and has coal and iron minerals, so Cao Guangbi will fall in love with it as a base as soon as he comes. This rebel army has become more and more famous all the way north, especially after blocking the return of the Jin people twice in a row, it is even more prestigious, and the heroes and heroes who are aspiring to resist the Jin in the two rivers have reached tens of thousands in a few months, and the immigrants from neighboring states and counties who have heard that they can avoid Kou An are even more numerous.

There were originally nearly 100,000 people in Lund Mansion, plus the two rebel armies led by Cao and Chong and the newly returned military and civilian population, which had exceeded 200,000. There were already thousands of intellectuals in the team that Cao Guangbi brought out of the Beijing Division, and many of these people originally had official positions in Bianliang, but Yu Qi still felt very uncomfortable in handling civil affairs -- it turned out that these scholars from Bianliang had been in the Qing Dynasty for a long time, and they were good at central affairs but lacked experience in handling pro-people politics, and this situation did not change greatly until the Zhongwu Army joined.

From the very beginning, the Chungmu Army was a somewhat strange team, small but well-equipped, with thousands of fighters dedicated to combat and a huge contingent dedicated to logistics, as well as a large number of craftsmen, farmers and herdsmen, and even mobile schools, mobile medical centers and mobile monasteries! Therefore, as soon as Cao Guangbi's Shangdang base area was joined by the Loyal Army, the administrative operation, handicraft development, and agricultural production of the entire region were soon put on track. At this time, Zong Han and Zong Wang needed time to deal with the results and problems of this adventurous southern invasion, and they could not launch a large-scale siege of Shangdang in a short period of time, which gave Shangdang precious time to rest and recuperate.

And after Chong Yansong met Cao Guangbi, he also made a qualitative change in the role of the loyal army. Although he has been trained many times over the years, he can be used as a general of an army and a defender of a place, but he does not have the courage and wisdom to take charge of himself, he is not like Cao Guangbi, and he does not know what he is going to do and how to lead this team, but he is just running around, cruising in and out of Taihang Mountain, tired of coping with the chaotic situation and not knowing how to open the situation, so he can't fully stimulate the potential of the team handed over to him by Yang Yingqi. But after meeting Cao Guangbi, all this has undergone a fundamental change.

In April 1678, the Zhongwu Army was stationed in Shangdang, where the leaders of various factions gathered in Huguan and held a meeting that had a far-reaching impact on Lianghe. The backgrounds of the participants in this meeting were very complex, ranging from civil officials (such as Deng Su) and generals (such as Li Cheng) who had made up their minds to fight for the Han Dynasty, as well as civil officials (such as Yu Qi) and generals (such as Chong Yansong) who still had Zhao in mind, while Wang Yan, Ma Kuo, Li Qiong, and others had even more complicated minds—whether they were still inclined to the Great Song Dynasty, or whether they were already inclined to the Han Dynasty, or whether they were simply attracted by Cao Guangbi's personal charm, perhaps even they themselves could not tell at the moment. But Cao Guangbi successfully grasped a common denominator of everyone present, that is, anti-gold! At this moment when the Great Song Dynasty court completely fell, the banner of resistance to Jin was enough to unite these people.

"Song Ting's orders, we can't listen to them!" Cao Guangbi said: "They have sold Lianghe!" If we obey their orders, then we will be slaves! ”

Deng Su, Li Cheng and others corresponded, and Chong Yansong, Wang Yan, Ma Kuo and others also agreed.

Yu Qi said: "But if we don't listen to the orders of the imperial court, how should we deal with ourselves?" ”

"Imperial Court!" Lin Yi sneered: "Is there still a court now?" ”

Lin Yi's words hit the key point of the pro-Song faction: the Northern Song Dynasty regime has indeed perished!

Ma Kuo said: "Why don't we find a Zhao clan to support?" ”

Wang Yan said: "The clans left by the Zhao family in Bianliang have been taken away by the Jin people, where can I find them?" ”

Ma Kuo said: "If you can't find the one that is close, you will find one farther away." ”

Yu Qi frowned and said, "That's just afraid that it's inappropriate, and it may not be useful!" ”

Ma Kuo said: "Find a clan, just want a name!" As long as we are dedicated to serving the country, what does it matter if it is true or false. He has said this very clearly: in order to resist gold, it is impossible to find a fake Zhao family clan.

Yu Qi said: "If this is the case, then it is better to serve the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, King Kang as the main - right now, King Kang is the closest to the two saints, and the position is the best!" ”

"I don't approve of it!" Lin Yi said: "I heard that before the fall of Bianliang, King Kang had already had tens of thousands of troops, and there were many Qin Wang's troops around him who listened to his orders, but he neither went to Bianjing to come to aid, nor did he support Deputy Marshal Zongze to cut off the back road of Jin's soldiers. Hum! If tens of thousands of troops participated in the battle when we intercepted the Zongwang East Route Army, I dare not say that we would definitely win, but the results were at least very different! These days, Lin Yi has been complained by some people in the Zhongwu Army, although most people have stopped mentioning this matter after Cao Guangbi's mediation, but he himself has always been a little worried about this matter.

Yu Qi said: "Maybe King Kang had his troubles at that time. ”

Lin Yi said: "I don't care if he has any hardships, in short, if he has no ambition to resist gold, what should we do with him?" ”

There were many opinions, and they were undecided for a while, and slowly turned their attention to Cao Guangbi. Deng Su asked, "General Cao, you say a few words." ”

Yu Qi also asked: "Cao Tong, what do you think?" ”
