Chapter 192 Crossing the River in the Thirtieth Chinese New Year's Eve

Shortly after Song Yingxing led people to blow up the west gate of Taiyuan City and Han Zhao led his army to rush in, due to the chaos in Taiyuan City, Yue Fei led his army to successfully attack the south gate of Taiyuan City.

Liu Jun, the emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty, was still thinking that the New Year was approaching, and the army of the Great Zhou should be withdrawn, shouldn't they all go home for the New Year?

Don't they know that their parents are waiting for them to come home for the New Year?

As a result, after a shocking explosion at the west gate of Taiyuan, the Great Zhou army invaded Taiyuan, invaded the Northern Han Palace, and captured Liu Jun alive.

"Liu Jun, seeing that the New Year is coming, my Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty is very gracious, and specially ordered me to send you a few cannon battles, and by the way, I will inform you that the army of the Great Zhou Dynasty is celebrating the New Year in Taiyuan City."

Taiyuan City was breached, and Yue Fei naturally would not give Liu Jun the opportunity to write a surrender letter and submit the order, and directly captured the entire Northern Han royal family.

"I am the son of heaven of the Han Dynasty......"

"Liu Jun, if you dare to say again, you are the son of the Han Dynasty, and if you can't say anything, you will carry out His Majesty's order and knock out your mouth full of teeth."

Liu Jun didn't react for a while, and said again:

"I am the son of heaven, you can't treat me like this......"

Yue Fei waved his hand, and Han Zhao stepped forward and gave Liu Jun an old fist on the cheeks.

"Spit ...... Spit it all out, let General Ben see if there are any teeth left in his mouth...... Qi Yu is handsome, and the last general is fortunate not to be dishonored, and Liu Jun has knocked out all the teeth in his mouth. ”

Liu Jun looked frightened, and the whole person was blinded.

"Come, give him a pen and paper, and ask him to write a letter to the guards of the city north of Taiyuan, and ask them to surrender the city immediately, otherwise, when the commander leads the army to attack it, the colonel and the general above the lieutenant in the city will be killed in one piece."

Yue Fei is also a deterrent, in the winter, no one wants to go north again, and there are not a few soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty who freeze to death from frostbite in this winter campaign.

"By the way, when you write a letter to General Yang Ye Yang of Linzhou, you have to make a special statement, don't write that you are captured, just say that you Liu Jun has returned to the Great Zhou, and order Yang Ye to follow you to surrender."

Liu Jun at this time, is that the meat on the board? Let Yue Fei slaughter, where do you dare not agree? A mouth full of teeth? In the future, I can only drink gruel.

"The Great Zhou Emperor has a decree, from now on? Take back the 'Han' and set up the Taiyuan Mansion of the Great Zhou? Appointed Xiang Xun as the town guard of Taiyuan Prefecture? Relief for the victims? Pacify the people. ”

"The minister obeys the order."

According to Guo Zongxun's will, Yue Fei temporarily imprisoned Liu Jun's family in a mansion in Taiyuan City, and then escorted them to Kaifeng to offer prisoners in Kaichun.

Liu Jun's letters of persuasion to the cities north of Taiyuan Mansion were also quickly sent, and Yue Fei ordered? The army rested in the city of Taiyuan? Prepare for the New Year.

Compared with Yue Fei's side, Zhao Kuangyin's movements on the edge of the Yangtze River are too grinding.

Zhao Kuangyin sent troops before Yue Fei, and after arriving in Yangzhou, he was stationed in nearby towns? Began to collect all kinds of official and civilian ships, nominally for the purpose of crossing the river to fight? In fact, it is training the trolls.

This is the idea given to him by Zhao Pu, if he wants to cross the river and capture Jinling, he will stand on his own, then he must control the waterway of the Yangtze River, and not give the little emperor the opportunity to send troops across the river to conquer us.

When he went to the south of the Yangtze River to fight, Zhao Kuangyin couldn't make up any reason for needing a large number of horses, and if he wanted to hold the Yangtze River, the navy was necessary.

"Marshal, it seems that Your Majesty's side has adopted a strategy of resignation, except that Li Chongjin often sends people to urge, and Kaifeng doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all."

Zhao Pu felt faintly worried, once the little emperor discovered their intentions and cut off their supply of grain and grass, then they could only attack Li Chongjin in Yangzhou, and then fight against the Great Zhou army.

"Ben Shuai also feels strange, now that the King of Wei has returned, Zhang Yongde has also been reused by His Majesty, including Li Chongjin of Yangzhou, who is wary of us, but we have been delaying here for nearly two months, and Your Majesty has not sent someone to urge ......"

Shen Yilun smiled bitterly beside him:

"Marshal, with all due respect, our subordinates say bluntly, we now have the advantage of the soldiers, this is still the soldiers given to us by His Majesty, will these soldiers have the same heart as us, we will occupy it when the time comes, but the location is favorable...... The subordinates thought that they would at least capture Jinling and then make plans in the spring of the next year. ”

Zhao Pu shook his head and said:

"What Brother Shunyi said, I only agree half, after the capture of Jinling, the soldiers we brought over can't go back, when the time comes, we just need to copy His Majesty's method of dealing with Shi Shouxin, and control all the generals and officers in the army, and those soldiers don't have to worry."

Shen Yilun retorted:

"Now, there must be people in the forbidden army who His Majesty has inserted, if these people are not generals, once we start an incident and the army mutinies, it will be difficult to do."

Zhao Kuangyin's face was gloomy on the side, he had already had his antipathy, and his antipathy had already been decided, but this was the time......

"Marshal, the arguments of subordinates and others are all planning for the marshal, we will analyze the conditions that are unfavorable to us clearly, so as to better come up with a countermeasure, please don't blame the marshal."

Zhao Pu saw that Zhao Kuangyin's face was wrong, thinking that it was caused by the dispute between him and Shen Yilun, but don't think too much about the difficulties, Zhao Kuangyin finally didn't rebel.

"Two gentlemen, please rest assured, the commander has made up his mind, as Mr. Zeping said, we just want to imagine all the difficulties, solve them one by one, and have a full grasp of the so-called planning in the people, the success of the day, if you don't make a move, the commander will not be willing."

Zhao Pu and Shen Yilun bowed to Zhao Kuangyin and said:

"Subordinates are willing to serve the marshal."

"The commander ordered to create an atmosphere for the New Year in the camp and confuse the Southern Tang, and the day when the army crossed the river to fight was set for the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and sent someone to report to Your Majesty, presumably Your Majesty will also agree to our battle plan."

"The marshal is wise."

Guo Zongxun of Kaifeng City also received a report from Zhao Kuangyin shortly after receiving the news that Yue Fei's army had successfully recovered Taiyuan.

"Marshal Zhao of Shu is going to act, cross the river in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve to pay New Year's greetings to Li Yu, this idea is good, pass the decree to Zhao Kuangyin, after capturing Jinling, Shu will give him food and grass, the army will rest in place for half a month, and then continue to go south, if Marshal Zhao has this ability, Shu allows him to lead the army all the way to Jiaozhi."

Guo Zongxun's words frightened Liu Ji, Wei Zhongxian and Li Tongjie, Your Majesty's heart is so big, let Zhao Kuangyin fight all the way to Jiaozhi, this is ......

"Why, do you think I'm letting the tiger go back to the mountain, in fact, the tiger has already been released, and it's still a colorful tiger, how can I not make good use of it."

This time, even Liu Ji couldn't guess Guo Zongxun's true thoughts, and he was still confused.

"Do so, and you'll know my true strategic intentions at the beginning of next spring."

"Obey."

Liu Ji took Zhu Jun to draft the decree, Zhu Jinliang's son, Guo Zongxun specially told me, whether he is a talent or not, he will be cultivated by me, at least he must not be made a corrupt official.

In fact, Guo Zongxun's worries are a bit redundant, and after a period of observation, Liu Ji has basically figured out Zhu Junsheng's character.

In Liu Ji's words, Junsheng may not have the loyalty and courage of his father, but as long as it is not the time when the family and country are in danger, Junsheng still has the potential to be a diligent and honest official.

Therefore, Liu Ji took Zhu Junsheng with him and taught him personally.

"I don't know how Yang Ye is doing in Linzhou now, it's time to receive Liu Jun's letter to him, right?"

In Guo Zongxun's heart, Yang Ye and his Yang generals are also an important part of Guo Zongxun's strategic deployment.
