The Battle of Tanzhou ended in a way that surprised everyone, and for the Northwest Army, for Song Naifeng, this battle can be said to be a fiasco. However, it is very interesting that in the same battle, in Jiangnan, many ministers in the Dakang court thought that this battle was a great defeat for Lu Zheng!

Because after this battle, Tanzhou was lost, Song Naifeng's troops pointed directly to the capital, in the face of this situation, Song Wensong immediately entered the palace and wept bitterly and begged Emperor Xinde to allow him to go to the capital in person to defend the capital in danger!

Emperor Xinde was silent, and after a long time, he raised his hand and said: "Song Aiqing, now that the imperial court is the crown prince's prison, I have been restless recently, and I can't make a decision about this, if you have something indecided, let's ask the prince!" ”

The crown prince Long Zhaohuan dragged Song Wensong into the East Palace and said, "Wensong, what are you going to do in the capital at this time?" Did you go to the capital to share Lu Zheng's faults? Ah, when I stayed in the capital, I was not sure that I could win, and now that the capital is bound to be lost, why do you want to go back? What's going on in your head? ”

Song Wensong said: "Your Highness, I won't hide it from you at this point, think about what we have now?" Above the court, the Lu family covers the sky with one hand, Lu Shanchang, the old fox, brings the Su family, the Chen family and the Gu family together, the prime minister of the Manchu Dynasty is the Lu family, the imperial historian above the court, and even the six departments and nine Qings, Your Highness, you have no way to mobilize!

Where do we start to change this? I think we must have soldiers first, and if we don't have our own strength, we won't be able to reverse our current weakness no matter what! ”

Song Wensong paused and continued: "This time in the battle of Tanzhou, on the surface, Lu Zheng was defeated, but Lu Zheng caused a heavy blow to the Northwest Army, and the fierce general Chuan Shanyue in the Northwest Army almost died in his hands, so anyone with a discerning eye can see that Lu Zheng's withdrawal from Tanzhou was deliberate.

The Northwest Army wants to fight him to the death, and he doesn't want to fight with the Northwest Army yet! He regarded the army under his command as a baby bump, and let the Northwest Army occupy Tanzhou, and then attack the capital, isn't this logical?

If we defend the capital again, it just so happens that I, Song Laosan, may be a wave of cannon fodder for him, and when the Northwest Army captures the capital, tens of thousands of people will die, and Lu Zheng will make a comeback, and at that time the role of him and the Northwest Army will be reversed!

After the Northwest Army occupied the capital, the Northwest Army became the role of a major general and a widow, and they came from the Northwest, and they were unpopular in the Central Plains. Once we get to that point, we can't intervene in the north, and we can't move Lu Shanchang in the south of the Yangtze River, and this prince will fall into a passivity, isn't that so? ”

Long Zhaohuan raised his eyebrows, his lips moved and he wanted to speak, it was obvious that Song Wensong's words hit his heart, and he also understood that the reason why Song Wensong insisted on going to the north was not to guard the capital at all, but to try his best to bring out the soldiers in the capital!

Song Wensong needs to have soldiers, Long Zhaohuan needs to have soldiers, the two are now in an alliance relationship, if they can hold tens of thousands of elite soldiers in their hands, at least they will have more weight in Jiangnan, even if the Lu family is not good for Long Zhaohuan and Song Wensong, they must first weigh the strength they have.

However, Long Zhaohuan also has other concerns, that is, he is already weak in Jiangnan, if Song Wensong leaves, what will he do?

Besides, Song Wensong is not an easy person, this is not an easy and easy to control character! Long Zhaohuan was worried that once Song Wensong came to the north to get out of the Ming Hall, he would let the birds fly away, and in that case, Long Zhaohuan might not only not earn allies for himself, but would make another big enemy for himself.

He pondered for a moment, and suddenly laughed and said: "Song Aiqing, I said, sometimes I am really smart and confused, if Lu Zheng loses the capital, he will have to come back to Fufa with an edict from his father, and at that time, can Beidi still escape from our palms?"

And at this time, the battle has not yet settled, in case he lands on Lu Zheng's way, he will put all the sins on his body, wouldn't he lose his wife and lose his soldiers? In that way, Lu Zheng will be able to get out of the way, but he will fall into an extremely passive situation! ”

Song Wensong sneered and said, "Your Highness, isn't it clear what kind of character Lu Zheng is?" He may have hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands now, looking at the world, if you want to say who has the most strength, once the Northwest Army is defeated by him, the world will be more powerful Lu Zheng!

Lu Zheng didn't oppose, but he was stronger by all the anti-kings, Your Highness, how do you think Your Majesty can make him subjugate at that time? Is it possible to cut off his head? Or do you want him to give away 200,000 soldiers and horses? ”

When Song Wensong said this, he sighed dejectedly and said, "Your Highness, in fact, I am destined to suffer a loss on this trip to the Northland!" I have never taken advantage of Lu Zheng in front of him, but I know that I have to go if I want to suffer! Because for us, it's fundamental to be able to have tens of thousands of more horses!

Lu Zheng wants to use me to get rid of his crimes, but in fact, whether he is free of guilt is not at all, isn't it? ”

Long Zhaohuan was originally a scheming person, listening to Song Wensong say so miserably, he was also sad for a while, for so many years, he has not had many comfortable days from King Qin to the prince, in comparison, Lu Zheng debuted from a concubine, and climbed up step by step, but he is on the rise, whether it is prestige or social status, he is much higher than the prince, who can balance this kind of thing?

There were also many wrestles between Long Zhaohuan and Lu Zheng, and the result was very similar to what Song Wensong said, that is, he basically didn't take advantage of it! Such things accumulate day by day, and accumulate in his heart, and he will inevitably feel aggrieved in his heart, so the hatred in his heart is really difficult to resolve for a while!

"Okay, since this is the case Song Aiqing, I will let go to the capital, remember, you must deal with it carefully, no matter what, you have to bring people back, rest assured, there must be a place for bringing people back to Jiangnan!" This military department secretary must have military power, and we will have many ways to make it have the right to do it in the future! ”

Long Zhaohuan patted Song Wensong on the chest on the spot and assured him, and at this time, Song Wensong no longer had the heart to think about this intrigue in Jiangnan, and got Long Zhaohuan's support, even if he rushed north, day and night, when he arrived in the capital, Lu Zheng's army had withdrawn from Tanzhou, crossed Tongzhou, and approached Cao Weiming's back road.

There is no leader in the capital, Wu Liewen, Xing Zheng and a few others are arguing, I don't know what to do, whether to cooperate with Lu Zheng to raid Cao Weiming and put Cao Weiming to death, or should I stand still and defend the capital.

Song Wensong rushed to the capital, just got the handwritten letter sent to him by Lu Zheng, Lu Zheng's letter is very simple, he is the general manager of Pingjing Road, in charge of the northern military affairs, he ordered all the defenders in the capital to attack quickly, cooperate with him to attack Cao Weiming, and completely defeat Cao Weiming's tens of thousands of troops! In fact, this is Lu Zheng's order, Song Wensong looked at the handwritten book and said, "Then what are you hesitating about?" The commander-in-chief's order is a military order, and the military order cannot be violated, and those who violate the order need to be engaged in military law! Come on, order troops out of the city and launch a fierce attack on Cao Weiming! ”

Song Wensong gave an order, and he didn't need to rely on others, he personally put on his armor and led out all the tens of thousands of people under his hands, saying that after Cao Weiming got the news of the battle of Tanzhou, he was still secretly happy in his heart!

He thought that the Northwest Army had won a big victory, and Lu Zheng had been driven away, and he was still thinking about how to encircle Lu Zheng to get some real benefits! And at this time, Song Wensong went to war, but seeing that Song Wensong was extremely brave, he personally led the army and went straight to Cao Weiming's Chinese army tent, and he was unmatched!

Cao Weiming was not surprised when he saw this battle, and comforted the generals under his command and said: "Look, the army in the capital has come out, which shows that Lu Zheng is extremely critical, this is his plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao!"

He used this soaring man in the capital to contain us, and he himself escaped, in this case, Lu Zheng's remnants of the defeated generals will be forgotten, it is important for us to take the capital, and now we will work together to clean up Song Wensong's shrimp soldiers and crab generals!

Cao Weiming said this, and the people under his command really felt that it was such a matter for a while, and they immediately reorganized the army one by one, and the two sides were about to fight each other when they opened their posture!

And at this moment, a long and low horn suddenly sounded, and I only heard the scout report: "Oh no, lord, no!" A great army is coming up from behind us! ”

Cao Weiming was stunned for a moment, frowned, and said, "What? Where did the army come from? What army of bullshit?

"Yes...... It's a big army, under the banner of the word landing, and the cavalry rushes to the front, and it's an ironclad heavy cavalry! ”

As soon as Cao Weiming heard the ironclad heavy horse, he couldn't help but tighten the back door, and the whole person immediately panicked, the time was too late, the soldier with the Lu Ziqi could only be Lu Zheng, and it was about the same time that Lu Zheng came out of Tanzhou to Gyeonggi!

Cao Weiming quickly got out of the camp tent, looked behind him from a distance, and saw the iron cavalry behind him coming from Haohaotang, seeing that they were in strict formation, without the slightest appearance of defeat, in addition, their banners were also very clear, and the word "Lu" was clearly written! This banner Cao Weiming is too familiar with, this is Lu Zheng's army.

"This ...... How is this possible? This...... It's a trap! It's not good, we are going to face a flanking attack, at this moment, there is no other way, pass on our military order, we will retreat immediately and retreat to Bianzhou! ”

Cao Weiming was a hero after all, and when he saw this situation, he knew that there was no possibility of fighting today, so he immediately decided to stay in Qingshan without fear of running out of firewood, and retreat first.

It's just that when he retreats, he is defeated like a mountain, and under the attack of the two armies, how can he retreat? Moreover, Lu Zheng's side has tens of thousands of cavalry, and the cavalry charges and crushes the infantry, Cao Weiming's military talent is really embarrassing at a critical time......

Cao Weiming was defeated, and the 60,000-strong army only escaped more than 10,000 people, and this battle suddenly weakened the pressure on the periphery of Gyeonggi......
