Chapter 210: The Great War is Initially Decided, and the Dragon Returns to the Imperial Capital

10,000 iron horsemen from the capital Huanglongfu all the way to Yunzhou, it can be said that the journey is thousands of miles, breaking hundreds of thousands of enemies, this kind of military feats are enough to make Wanyan Zonggan boast for a lifetime, and it is also destined to become famous among the nobles of the Jin Kingdom. It's a pity that it's already tomorrow's yellow flowers, tomorrow's sorrow, all this has become a thing of the past, and now there are only 5,000 remnants of the defeated army, and the only thing left is to flee in a hurry.

Panic is like a lost dog, now Wanyan Zonggan doesn't know what to do, it is necessary to escape, but where to go? The closest is Yunzhou, but it is the worst choice for the remnants of the defeated army to go to Yunzhou. You must know that Yunzhou was originally the Xijing of the Liao State, although it was subordinated to the Jin State, it was also forced by the situation. But now that the Jin army has returned defeated, if he rushes back to Yunzhou, what if Yunzhou Zhujiang Xiao Jiu has some ideas? This is what Wanyan Zonggan doesn't want to see, and he doesn't dare to gamble rashly, he doesn't want the remaining 5,000 elite soldiers to be dumplings for two years.

If you don't go to Yunzhou, where can you go, it is obviously impossible for Jin Guo, if you go back like this, Wanyan Zonggan will be completely finished, and you will never want to turn over in this life.

Han Sui seemed to see what Yan Zong was doing, and this guy lowered his voice and said, "My lord, actually, if we turn hundreds of miles northwest and destroy the Dark Cloud Tribe, or the Kar tribe, then everything will not be a problem. You must know that there is a golden mountain in the Dark Clouds Department, and if you take it down, you can be regarded as having an explanation for it. ”

"Gold, how much gold?"

"I don't know, it is said that it is not a problem to buy the whole of Yunzhou."

"However, we are short of food now, how can we march hundreds of miles?" Wanyan Zonggan was moved, but he hesitated a little and said: "We don't have much food, you know this, in the event of a defeat, if you run out of food, the army will be disheartened." ”

Han Sui had a shameless smile on his face, and he said evilly: "There is a small tribe less than fifty miles ahead, probably about a thousand people, and if you loot this tribe, the food problem will be solved." ”

"Okay, kill it." Wanyan Zonggan was moved, he knew that the army was defeated, if he didn't mention morale, it would be easy to lose control, it was okay to rob it, ask the heart of the army.

The distance of fifty miles is not far, but it is not close, but there are almost no roads in this fifty miles, only rugged mountain roads, which can be said to be difficult to walk, but despite this, the five thousand cavalry still reached this small tribe after two hours.

I don't know why, this guy Han Sui disappeared mysteriously, but Wanyan Zonggan didn't care, after he saw the small tribe from afar, he shouted loudly: "Kill all the men, women, and property are yours." ”

The Jin army only ran fast two times, one was to charge into battle, and the other was to burn and loot. I have just suffered a defeat, and now I want to rob the property, woman, now, these soldiers rushed forward like chicken blood.

Suddenly, dozens of war horses in front fell into the trap pit, followed by dense crossbow arrows flying all over the sky, and countless Jin army arrows fell from their horses.

Immediately after, the drums shook the sky, and countless Song troops fought out from all directions.

The military flag of the leader has a big Yue character written on it.

It turned out that when Han Sui went to the military camp to negotiate, he secretly met Yue Fei and told him that he was bought by the shadow. The guy gave a plan before leaving.

Yue Fei led the army to Yunzhou after defeating Yan Zongqi It was just a pretense, and he actually came here to ambush. In fact, there is indeed a tribe of 1,000 people here, but they have all been transferred by the Longwei army.

Seeing that there was an ambush, Wanyan Zonggan knew that he couldn't run away from this battle, so he ordered an all-out attack.

The five thousand gold army burst out with strong combat power without retreat, and it was really a trapped beast, rampage, and the killing Long Wei army really had no way to defeat it for a while.

It was only at this time that Yue Fei could be regarded as truly seeing the strength of the Jin Army, and if it was really the same number of cavalry against each other, the Long Wei Army was not the opponent of the Jin Army at all. The reason why the Long Wei Army won this time was mainly due to the flawless cooperation of the five major arms, plus it was 30,000 against 10,000 to be considered a complete victory. Even the most powerful Benlei Army was not sure to defeat the Jin Army, which was what Yue Fei feared the most.

In front of him, the whole army of Long Wei Army was pressed, and he couldn't take the five thousand gold army for a while, and now Yue Fei couldn't hang it anymore, and he suddenly had the idea of putting on his own clothes.

At this time, the two brothers Zhi Yanlong and Zhi Yanhu led the Zhejia army to arrive, and the two armies flanked and besieged the Jin army to the middle.

In the case of the two armies being flanked, the Jin army was loyal and could not bear it, and the whole line collapsed. In the end, only Wanyan Zonggan led hundreds of cavalry to break through, and all the rest were killed.

Liu Zhenglong had given a death order before, and the vassal army was mainly appeased, and all the Jin army was executed if it was not appeased, the purpose was to kill one less and consume the Jin army's vital strength to the greatest extent.

After the two armies merged, Yue Fei asked Zhe Yanhu, "Why didn't the commander of the new army, Hebron, come over?" ”

"Hey, they should be fighting with Yan Zongqi, okay, let's not talk about them, after this group of new troops destroys Yan Zongqi, they will lead the army to take Yunzhou directly. We are also going back, the Mili Ministry is going to war, we must go back, as for General Yue, you should go back to Yinshan. ”

Before leaving, he confessed to his two sons, and he had to return as soon as the warhead was over.

Zhi Yanhu, Zhi Yanlong was not in the mood to care about what the battle situation was after Hebron led the new army to face off against Yan Zongqi, and the two brothers knew that the war of the Mili Department was a major matter, and it was related to the issue of Western Xia, and they could not delay it for a moment.

Yue Fei didn't know why his Longwei army had been stationed in Yinshan, but for him, since he had arranged for Hebron to fight Yunzhou, it had nothing to do with him, and he could only withdraw his army.

The Battle of Yunzhou basically ended after the 100,000 new troops besieged Yan Zongqi. This battle was purely a training of the new army, although the other side only had more than 1,700 gold soldiers, but this battle lasted for nearly two hours, and finally Wanyan Zongqi led less than 100 people to break through, and the rest were all killed.

The new army went to the battlefield and faced the seemingly powerful Jin army, which can be regarded as completing the purpose of military training.

Hebron led 100,000 recruits and 25,000 vassals to besiege Yunzhou, and this scheming fellow did not plan to attack the city, but gave the task of persuading the defenders to Yelu Ma Wu.

Jerematwu had no choice but to enter the city with his head on his head.

Under the pressure of the army, the Yunzhou defenders finally chose to surrender, and after more than a hundred years, Yunzhou finally returned.

Hebron flew the pigeon for the first time and sent a message to Liu Zhenglong to report the good news.

Yunzhou took it back, and Liu Zhenglong, who saw this letter, breathed a sigh of relief, it was too timely, if it was a few days later, the consequences would be unimaginable.

It turned out that Li Bangyan had arrived a long time ago, but this guy was entangled by Zhu Xiaosun in Jingzhao Mansion and spent every day drinking, so it was delayed for so long in this case.

Zhu Xiaosun and Liu Zhenglong did not have a good relationship at the beginning, but after the partnership made the Xixia Field, the relationship between the two was much better, and with the mediation of the crown princess Zhu Lian, the two became good friends.

This time, it was not Liu Zhenglong's request to entangle Li Bangyan, but the secret letter of the crown princess Zhu Lian, so that his brother must entangle Li Bangyan no matter what, as long as Liu Zhenglong does not take the initiative to see this guy, it will be delayed.

Li Bangyan is not the Yunwang line, nor is he the prince line, but bets on both sides, and both sides must not be offended, otherwise he would not be entangled in Jingzhao Mansion by Zhu Xiaosun.

Now that Yunzhou has been taken, Liu Zhenglong is also preparing to avoid Li Bangyan, he decided to hurry back to Beijing, but there are still things that must be prepared.

Liu Zhenglong invited Zhe Keqiu to the room to spy on him, and he said bluntly: "Father-in-law, I will return to Beijing this time, and I will not be able to come back in a short time. You must take the lead in supporting, and you must not dare to fight. ”

"What do you mean by this, it's rare to give up the Liu Jiajun you founded single-handedly" Zhe Keqiu has always been not interested in the court, it can be said that Yang Feng Yin is violated, and now I want my son-in-law to tear the soil and seal the king.

Liu Zhenglong shook his head and said: "Liu Jiajun can't be adjusted by anyone, and neither can the imperial court. It's just that the upheaval in the north is coming, and the northwest can't tolerate sloppiness in this case. When I was here, I was able to control these generals in the northwest, and when I was not there, many things were difficult to say. You can't fight against the court alone and be bombarded. You only need to support it on the surface and not let Li Bangyan check the folded army. In addition, there must be a battle between the Mili Department and the Tuoba Department, let the Zhejia army participate, and after that, the Zhejia army will be stationed in the territory of Western Xia in case there is a change. Yue Fei is in Yinshan, Hebron is in Yunzhou, you are cutting a powerful iron triangle. As for the other goalkeepers, just let it be, you have to keep a low profile, and then a low profile. No matter what news spreads in the capital, even if it does, I will be arrested and put in the prison, and if I can't see myself or Moon Shadow or Moon Immortal, I must not send troops, and my handwritten letter will not work. ”

"I know, the Zhe family has been in a state of self-reliance in the northwest, ignoring other generals, by the way, my nephew Yan is in Luoyang, shouldn't he be transferred out, it's better to let him be in charge of the army."

"Let's talk about it when I return to the capital, you can contact Liu Fa more, this person and I are sworn brothers, and it is reliable." Liu Zhenglong has already arranged the affairs of Western Xia, as long as the Mili tribe defeats the Tuoba Department, then there will be no problem, and the most worrying thing is that Li Bangyan will make the Western Army a miasma, Qu Duan, Yao Pingzhong, Liu Qi, Liu Zhongwu, including the seed master Dao, the two brothers in the seed master are unreliable.

On the eighth day of the fifth month of the sixth year of Xuanhe, Liu Zhenglong finally returned to Jingzhao Mansion, and on the way back, he asked Yan Qing to release Liang Fang, and personally apologized to this friend for many years, and also made a promise to help this guy to be the commander of the imperial city.

These days, Liang Fang can be regarded as thinking about it, he knows that Liu Zhenglong is already a hidden dragon in the abyss, and he is no longer the old friend he knew at the beginning, and he will either be obedient or an enemy in the future.

Whether to be loyal or to be an enemy, Liang Fang didn't dare to think about it, after all, such a big matter had to be discussed with his uncle, but now this guy knew that if he wanted to live, he had to talk less, or even not speak.

When Li Bangyan saw Liu Zhenglong, he also said hypocritically: "Congratulations to Grandpa Guo, Greetings to Grandpa Xiguo, you are the youngest Duke of Guo since the founding of my dynasty, and you are very envious. ”

"Li Xianggong said with a smile, in front of you, I am still a junior, please relative to me, I am afraid I will have to stay up for more than ten years, and I hope to take care of it more during this period. In addition, these military men are rough people, and I hope that your old man will take care of them. Liu Zhenglong knew that Li Bangyan was greedy for money and lustful, which was the same as himself, and he handed over a million-yuan treasure note to Li Bangyan and said: "Li Xianggong, Rongchang, it is the property of me and the Liu family, and there is also a part of the crown princess, I hope you will take care of it, by the way, there will be your part in it in the future." ”

"Well said, well said."

After completing the delivery procedures, Liu Zhenglong left Jingzhao Mansion very freely.

When leaving Jingzhao Mansion, Liu Zhenglong said to Yan Qing: "You just stay, if Li Bangyan is out of line, kill him, the third shadow team will protect the queen Yelu Nanxian in the Xingqing Mansion of Western Xia, the first shadow team will protect my family in the capital, and the second team will stay for you." Remember, as long as Li Bangyan doesn't move the family, no matter how big the mess is, don't rush to make a move, in case of trouble, you make your own decisions, you don't have to ask me. ”

Yan Qing heard the inconsistencies in the lord's words, but he still understood the inevitable meaning with a high level of understanding. The previous sentence If Li Bangyan kills him if he comes out, this sentence means that if Li Bangyan moves the Liu Mansion, then kill him directly. The latter sentence Li Bangyan should not make a move if he does not move the Folded Family, this sentence means that no matter how chaotic the issue of the Northwest Military Gate is, do not intervene, but once it involves the Folded Family, he will be killed.

After receiving the information about Yunzhou's recovery, Liu Zhenglong sent carrier pigeons to the Pan family, the Liu family, and Cai Jing as soon as possible.

The old lady is already an eighty-year-old man, and he has long been dizzy, but after seeing the content of the carrier pigeon, the old lady Cai Jing shook his head and said: "This little fox has wrapped the old man in again, it seems that Li Bangyan fell in this time and couldn't get out, or not, among the legendary six thieves, Zhu Mian and Wang Hao were all killed by this guy, and now Li Bangyan is only a matter of time." I just don't know what the old man, Tong Guan, and Liang Shicheng will look like in the future? ”

Cai Jing's third son, Cai Cheng, said puzzledly: "Father, since Liu Zhenglong is such an executioner, why don't you push the boat down the river and beat him down?" ”

"Confused, Liu Zhenglong said that he could fight if he went down?" Cai Jing threw the letter to Cai Yi and said: "This guy knew that the official family wanted to remove his military power, so he beat Yunzhou in advance, and now he is full-fledged, and it is not easy to fight." Unless there is a rebellion, it will be difficult for even the official family to defeat him. Besides, the old man is not to help him, but to help our Cai family, I can't do it, I don't have a few years to live, but you are still young, although your brother has an important official position, but he is frivolous, it is difficult to become a great weapon, once he loses his sacred heart, it will definitely be a catastrophe, who will keep our Cai family prosperous in the future! ”

"But." Cai Yi was a little unconvinced, but he didn't like to associate with his eldest brother, so he didn't want to raise the bar with his father.

Cai Jing knew that his son was not convinced, and he didn't expect Cai Cheng to understand, so he said: "Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, although it is said that it is a civil and official world, the real family is still a meritorious family. Back then, Wang Anshi could be said to have made the official family obey his words, but in the end he was dismissed, and there are countless of these things, all of which happened to civil officials, how could they happen to meritorious families. In addition, being a father is considered a high authority, and he has been deposed several times. Okay, let's not talk about it, you can write an article according to my instructions tomorrow and hand it over to Yushi Zeng Ji to publish a signed article. ”

Cai Jing doesn't expect his sons to achieve their own achievements, but he also hopes to pave the way for his children and grandchildren.

The next day, the news of the official army's recovery of Yunzhou spread to every corner of the capital. The recovery of Yunzhou is different from the original recovery of Youzhou and Dingzhou. You must know that Youzhou and Dingzhou were redeemed with money after Tong Guan's defeat, and there is a world of difference between the two.

No contrast, no harm. Before, the common people were not very controversial about Tong Guan's redemption of Youzhou, but now that Liu Zhenglong has won Yunzhou, after comparing the two, Liu Zhenglong's voice in the capital has suddenly risen.

Various newspapers rushed to report that many Beijing officials joined the round battle, some defended Tong Guan, and of course, more praised Liu Zhenglong.

Taixue Chen Dong is a loyal fan of Liu Zhenglong, and this guy began to give a speech in Taixue to build momentum for Liu Zhenglong.

At this time, another news came from the northwest, that is, Yelu Dashi established Western Liao with the support of Bai Dagul, the leader of the Baida tribe, and sent people to the capital to meet Song Huizong, hoping to join forces with the Great Song to attack the Jin State.

In the imperial history, Cheng He Li didn't know which tendon was pumped up, and he actually impeached Li Bangyan for embezzlement and perversion of the law in the northwest, and these three things were connected together, and Song Huizong was angered at once.

Song Huizong has always been unsure of how to place Liu Zhenglong, this is a genius who has not been encountered in a century, use it, this guy has won many battles, which makes people jealous, no need, such a talent is only in his early thirties, and he can't be idle.

If Yunzhou is not recovered, Liu Zhenglong will be dismissed, but now that Yunzhou has been recovered, this is a world of difference from Tong Guan's recovery of Youzhou, in this case, it seems that spending money to recover Youzhou will lose the face of the court, Song Huizong, who has always paid attention to face, was greatly annoyed, this is the first time he is dissatisfied with Tong Guan, and feels that this guy is a little old and faint, far inferior to Liu Zhenglong.

There is one thing that Song Huizong is inconvenient for outsiders to tell, that is, Youzhou, Dingzhou, etc. seem to have suddenly become a bottomless pit, and the finances of Hebei Road, Jingdong Road, and Jingxi Road have been emptied. The three divisions kept complaining that the court was tight, which was caused by Tong Guan, which made Song Huizong very annoyed. Song Huizong didn't think that Youzhou had emptied the three roads and emptied the imperial court, but it was caused by Tong Guan's greed for ink, and he was very dissatisfied with Tong Guan in his heart.

What made Song Huizong even more annoyed was still to come, Liu Zhenglong personally promised to give the court 10 million yuan, and now that he has relieved this guy's military power, how can he be embarrassed to ask for it? In this case, it was reported that Li Bangyan was greedy for ink, and in this comparison, it seems that except for Liu Zhenglong, they are all corrupt and perverted the law.

What to do, what to do, Song Huizong had no idea for a while, he didn't want to hand over Liu Zhenglong's military power, but he couldn't use it, but how to use it, he really had no idea for a while.

When he has no idea, Song Huizong usually meets two people, the first one is the old immortal Lin Lingsu, this guy will help him solve problems, and he has never been disappointed. The second is the old man of the Liu family, it can be said that all the economic policies of the Song Huizong dynasty were made by the old man.

This time, although finance is involved, Liu Zhenglong's wife Liu Ruyan is from the Liu family, and it is obviously inappropriate to see Old Man Liu in this situation. In this case, Song Huizong decided to find Lin Lingsu for a solution.

Lin Lingsu has always been reluctant to help Liu Zhenglong, but he doesn't know why he is kidnapped on Liu Zhengluo's chariot every time, and he can't hide if he wants to. No, this time he was tied to the chariot again, and in the face of the emperor's questioning, Lin Lingsu secretly swore to help Liu Zhenglong for the last time.

Song Huizong said helplessly: "Liu Zhenglong, this person, has become a piece of my heart, you know, his ability is obvious to all, but if he has been leading troops, it is obviously inappropriate, which really makes me embarrassed." ”

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's not this that you are embarrassed by, Liu Zhenglong is not a military general, he is a protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven, even if he does not lead troops, whether he is a Beijing official or a prefect. This should not be a place for His Majesty to be embarrassed, the most difficult thing for you should be Li Bangyan Xuanfu Northwest, only know that he is greedy for money, which has caused the Northwest military to complain, Tong Guanxuan Fuyanshan Mansion, Hebei Road has made three roads and financial roads are exhausted, this is Your Majesty's biggest scruples. ”

Song Huizong nodded, he said helplessly: "Although the Northwest Military Gate is full of complaints, after all, it does not hurt the overall situation, no matter how Li Bangyan makes trouble, it will not hurt the stability of the Northwest, Liu Zhenglong has already disabled the Western Xia, no matter how much trouble the Northwest makes, there will be no big chaos." However, Youzhou and Hebei are in direct contact with the Jin State, if the population continues to flow to the Jin State and it is necessary to constantly let the imperial court send money and grain, I am afraid it will not be long before the three roads are hollowed out, but the imperial court is hollowed out, which is the biggest problem. ”

At this time, Song Huizong finally expressed his dissatisfaction with Tong Guan, after all, Hebei Road, Jingdong Road, and Jingxi Road were emptied, and this is the beginning, if it is not handled well, the consequences will be unimaginable.
