Wanyan Zonghan led the Western Route Army south, first pointing to Shuozhou.

The Shuozhou guard is named Sun Yi.

This person is brave and loyal.

Seeing that the Jin people were coming, he led his men and horses out of the city to fight with them.

But before the two sides could decide the winner, Han'er opened the city gate and dedicated Shuozhou City to the Jin people.

Sun Yi had no choice but to flee south with his headquarters.

The Jin army advanced to Wuzhou again, and Han'er opened the city and surrendered, and Wuzhou was also lost.

When the Jin people invaded Yundi, only Shuo and Wu Erzhou did not break through.

Now, Shuo and Wu Erzhou have also been lost.

This means that the Great Song Dynasty has completely lost its cloud land.

And this is not the most critical, the most critical thing is that as soon as the Jin army arrived, the Han people competed to surrender, and the Jin people almost effortlessly won Shuo and Wu Erzhou, which made the Jin people confirm their previous thoughts, that is, they could give the Great Song a profound lesson without any effort, and even they could complete the idea of using the Yellow River as the boundary and the division of the north and south of the Great Song Dynasty that they thought about casually.

After this, Wanyan Zonghan led the army south to Daizhou, intending to enter Hedong from Yanmen Pass.

After Yan Zonghan wanted to come, Yanmen Pass is the first of the nine passes in the world, and Daizhou, the outer strength of the same domain guard, the inner solid Taiyuan lock key, the root of the three passes, the throat of the whole Jin, to the mountains and rivers to choke, to the side is quite far away, called the belly.

Therefore, Wanyan Zonghan judged that Yanmen Pass and Daizhou must be very difficult to take, and this may be a tough battle.

So, Wanyan Zonghan divided his troops, made a detour to Hugu Village, and prepared to attack Yanmen Pass on both sides.

Wanyan Zonghan also said to Yelu Yujian: "Today to Daizhou, there will be several battles with the southern army, it is impossible not to spend some effort, but everyone can rest assured, as long as Daizhou is defeated, the rest of the Hedong region will be captured by us." ”

However, the Jin army was not stopped at Yanmen Pass.

This greatly surprised Yan Zonghan.

The Jin army soon crossed the Yanmen Pass, and there was no battle along the way, so they quickly advanced.

Three days later, the Jin army came to the city of Daizhou without any danger.

This made Wanyan Zonghan feel incredible!

Daizhou is also known as Yanmen County, rejecting Yanmen in the north, the danger of mountains and rivers, and the strategic position of Yunzhong and Shuozhou is equal.

The name of the Daizhou guard general is Li Siben, and he is also the commander of the Yisheng Army.

And yet—

After the Jin army reached the city of Daizhou, Li Siben was captured by Han'er, and then Kaicheng surrendered.

Daizhou, which is known as "relying on high risks, controlling mountains and waters, and consolidating the terrain", was easily lost.

The fall of Daizhou was also caused by the Han'er rebellion.

So, who are these men?

In fact, these men are the righteous victorious army.

The Yisheng Army was recruited by Tan Zhi, the Xuanfu envoy of Hebei and Hedong, after the Great Song Dynasty recovered Yanjing, and was an army composed purely of Yanyun Han people.

The original purpose of forming the Yisheng Army was to defend Yundi and contain Guo Yaoshi's Changsheng army.

At the beginning, the Yisheng Army was actually very obedient, after all, at that time, their treatment was the best among the Song Army, better than the Changsheng Army, which caused the soldiers of the Changsheng Army to come to the Yisheng Army to join the army.

At the beginning, the Western Xia army invaded Yundi in the east, and it was because of the righteous victory army that it did not lose Yundi.

It is precisely because of this that Tan Zhi vigorously expanded the Yisheng Army, so that the Yisheng Army had about 100,000 at its peak, which was more than the Changsheng Army.

But later, due to various reasons, the supply of money and food in the Great Song Dynasty could not be increased, and even the soldiers of the Yisheng Army began to go hungry.

The key is that the Song people's distrust and insult to the Han people made the soldiers of the Yisheng Army slowly hate the Song people - they believe that the Song people are far inferior to the Liao and Liaodong people, not to mention the Jin people.

After a long period of grudges, after the Jin people invaded the south, the Han'er rebelled one after another, and even defected.

This allowed the Jin people to attack the Hedong region without much effort.

Moreover, not only that, the Jin people (the Jin Army of the Western Road) did not have many men and horses, and after receiving the Yisheng Army, the strength of the Jin Army of the Western Road began to explode.

Later, most of the people who fought with the Great Song Dynasty were Han'er and Liao army, and there were not many girls and real people at all.

Han'er was originally the name given to the Han people by ethnic minorities in ancient China.

For example, there is a poem in the Han Le Mansion that says: "I am a captive family, and I don't understand Han children's songs." ”

There are also verses in Tang poems that "the Han is full of Hu'er language, but scolds the Han to the city".

Originally, the word Han'er was synonymous with the Han people, and there was no positive or negative connotation.

After the Liao State obtained the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, especially during the confrontation between the Liao State and the Northern Song Dynasty, the Han Min titles of the Liao and Song Dynasty that belonged to the two countries began to change.

The Liao people called the Han people in the Song Dynasty Nanren, and the Han people in their own territory (mainly the Yanyun region) as Han'er.

The Song people also called the Han people in the Liao State Han'er, and sometimes called them Fanren.

The Liao, Song, and later Jin states all referred to the Han people in the Yanyun region as Han'er, which indicates that the Han people had evolved into a special name with a contemptuous tone, reflecting that the Liao, Song, and Jin kingdoms were very distrustful of these Han people in the Yanyun region.

Only during the short period of one year that Cai still ruled, Cai still forcibly forbade the use of "Han'er" to refer to the Han people in the Yanyun area, and at that time Cai still forcibly did not use "fan" and "hu" to refer to the ethnic minorities in the Yanyun area, and enacted relevant strict laws.

It can be said that only in the short period of one year that Cai still ruled, the people in the Yanyun area, whether they were Han people, Han people, or Khitan, Xi, Bohai, and Zubu people, truly reached complete equality.

In a sense, the reason why these Han people rebelled had a lot to do with the fact that the Song people regarded them as "people from the north" and distrusted them, and it was the evil result of the Song people's consistent discrimination against them.

After occupying Daizhou, the Jin army continued southward.

On December 9, the soldiers arrived in Xinzhou.

Xinzhou is a strategic place, since ancient times it has been known as the "key to the north of Jin".

The prefect of Xinzhou was named He Quan, and he was invincible, so he gave up resistance and opened the city to welcome the Jin army into the city.

After Yan Zonghan was overjoyed, he ordered the soldiers not to enter the city, and they all camped outside the city to rest.

The next target of the Jin army was Shiling Pass.

Shiling Pass, also known as "Baipi Pass" and "Shiling Town", is located in the north of Taiyuan, and is the only place to pass through the clouds to Taiyuan.

Here, the terrain is precipitous, the ridge is across the east and west, the road runs north and south, guards the main road of Taiyuan to Xin, Dai, Yun and Shuo, and there is a trend of "one husband is the pass, ten thousand people are not open", it is the place where the soldiers of all dynasties must fight.

In that year, Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin conquered the Northern Han Dynasty, the Liao State sent troops to Jinyang (Taiyuan) to reinforce the Northern Han Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin ordered He Jiyun to lead the troops to Shiling Pass to block, the Song army and the Liao army launched a bloody battle for the Shiling Pass, and finally the Song army won a great victory, captured the two of them, obtained more than 100 births, beheaded more than 1,000 levels, more than 700 horses, and many armor.

Now, in the face of the aggressive offensive of the Jin army, Zhang Xiaochun, the prefect of Taiyuan, was very anxious, and he was eagerly looking for someone who could defend Shiling Pass.

Soon, someone recommended Jijing to Zhang Xiaochun, saying that Jijing could guard Shiling Pass.

Ji Jing conquered Fang La, and when the Second Northern Expedition recovered Yanjing, he served as a pioneer general and had rich practical experience.

Zhang Xiaochun then ordered Ji Jing to go to Shiling Pass to guard the pass.

But Ji Jing refused to resign on the grounds of insufficient troops.

Zhang Xiaochun had no choice but to order Wang Zongyin to lead the officers and soldiers to dare to brave the army, and go to Shiling Pass with Ji Jing, and at the same time ordered Geng Shouzhong, a returning courtier, to lead 8,000 soldiers to help.

Ji Jing had no excuse this time, so he had to guard Shiling Pass.

But Ji Jing was very distrustful of Geng Shouzhong, because Geng Shouzhong was a Han'er, a general of the Liao State, and the deputy commander of the Yisheng Army.

Therefore, Ji Jing made Geng Shouzhong the vanguard and walked at the front of the army - he was afraid that Geng Shouzhong would attack him from behind.

When he arrived at Xinkou, Geng Shouzhong suddenly returned and said to Ji Jing: "Shouzhong's headquarters are full of infantry troops, and if you borrow the soldiers who dare to brave the family, then the gold can't reach the pass." ”

Ji Jing then ordered the Dare Yong Army to lend some military horses to Geng Shouzhong for the time being.

Geng Shouzhong got Ji Jing's order, so he ran to dare to grab the horses, and in the end, he snatched half of the horses.

Ji Jing felt that Geng Shouzhong's behavior was abnormal, and he seemed to have a rebellious heart, so he led his relatives and others to abandon the pass and fled.

Geng Shouzhong led the army to Shiling Pass, and was defeated and sacrificed.

Ji Jing heard that Geng Shouzhong had defected to the enemy and did not dare to return to Taiyuan, so he fled to Fenzhou.

As the last natural barrier and important pass north of Taiyuan, Shiling Pass was easily lost.

Xinzhou and Shiling Pass rebelled when they heard the news, so the Jin army entered a no-man's land until Taiyuan.

Wanyan Zonghan knew that the combat effectiveness of the Song army was relatively poor, but he really didn't expect it to be so vulnerable.

From then on, Wanyan Zonghan gradually came up with the idea of subverting the Song Dynasty regime.

At the beginning of the invasion, neither Wanyan Zonghan nor Wanyan Zongwang had a strategic plan for the two armies to join Tokyo and destroy the Song Dynasty.

The ultimate goal of Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang was only to occupy the Yanshan region and the land east of the river, and the banner they played was only to take the big river (the Yellow River) as the boundary and rule by rowing the river.

……

After Yan Zonghan led the Jin army of the West Road to invade the eastern region of the Great Song River, the Han people of Shuo, Wu, and Daizhou opened the city and surrendered one after another, causing the Jin army of the West Road to drive straight in, as if entering a no-man's land.

But—

In fact, the Song Dynasty also had ministers who died in battle.

And Li Yi is a typical example of this.

Li Yi was a native of Xinqin, Linzhou (later Shenmubei, Shaanxi), and Yang Ye, the general of the Yang family, was a fellow villager.

After Yan Zonghan occupied Daizhou, he sent the surrender general Li Siben to the counties of Daizhou to recruit and surrender.

Li Siben arranged for the department to send Zang Fen to Laoxian (later Yuanping City, Shanxi Province) to persuade him to surrender.

Lao County has always been fought for by soldiers, and is known as the "Three Jin Locks and Keys".

At this time, Li Yi was in Lao County.

Zang Fen rode to the gate of Laoxian County and shouted to Li Yi to persuade him to surrender.

Li Yi stood on the city tower and scolded Li Siben sharply, and suddenly drew an arrow to shoot Zang Fen, and then an arrow hit Zang Fen's mount, so frightened that Zang Fen quickly fled.

Li Yi said to the generals and others: "I will guard this city with the public, and I should be loyal to the country to repay the country." ”

At that time, Sun Yi, the general of Shuozhou, fled south and fled to Yangwu Village, and was stationed in Yangwu Village with the general Zhe Zhong'an.

Yangwu Village and Cuizhai, Xicheng Sai, Ruyue Village, Hugu Village, Dashi Village and other military villages, are all in Dai County, Yang Ye built these military villages for the purpose of defending the Khitan.

After the fall of Daizhou, Li Yi and Sun Yi, Zhi Zhong'an secretly often have written exchanges, Li Yi suggested that they send troops to guard the Shiling Pass, because the Shiling Pass is the throat of Taiyuan, the sky is dangerous and steep, if you can hold the Shiling Pass for more than ten days, then Taiyuan City can gather grain to guard, waiting for reinforcements from all sides, even if the Jin army is stationed under Taiyuan City, because there is Shiling Pass, the Jin army does not dare to drive the south to invade.

Sun Yi and Zhi Zhong'an thought so, and they wrote a wax pill secret letter to Li Yi, hoping that Li Yi could come to Yangwu Village, and the three of them would join forces together, and then go to defend Shiling Pass to resist the invasion of the Jin.

Li Yi told Zhi Kehe about this plan, and Zhi Kehe was also in favor of it, so they planned to divide their troops to break out of the city, and then go straight to Shiling Pass.

When the residents of Laoxian heard that Li Yi was going to leave with his troops, they howled and cried, blocked the road and set up a card to prevent Li Yi from leaving.

Seeing this, Li Yi couldn't bear to abandon the city, so he decided to defend the city and wait for help.

At that time, Zhe Kehe's younger brother Zhe Kecun, the general Lu Zhixing, the county magistrate Li Zhen, the county king Tang Chen, the prisoner Zhang Hongfu, the county lieutenant Liu Ziying, the supervisor Yan Cheng, and the commander of the Yisheng Army Cui Zhong and others were all surrounded in the city of Cuixian.

Among these people, Cui Zhong was the only one who later returned to the imperial court of Yan (i.e., Han'er), but everyone did not doubt him and still let him lead the Yisheng army composed of Han'er.

Soon, Li Yi heard that Zhang Xiaochun, the prefect of Taiyuan, had sent Geng Shouzhong, a returning official, to guard Shiling Pass, and he looked up to the sky and sighed and said, "How can a person like Geng Shouzhong be entrusted with a big deal?" The general trend of the country is gone! ”

Seeing that the reinforcements had not arrived for a long time, Li Yi said to Li Zhen and others, the magistrate: "Cui Zhong is a man, this kind of person is greedy for profit and livelihood, how can he be loyal?" You can defend the city with the general and him, in case of internal changes, not only will we mislead the country, but we will also suffer calamity, so why don't we kill him first? ”

Zhe Kehe agreed with Li Yi's suggestion, but the others were silent.

After a while, the magistrate Li Zhen suggested: "Cui Zhong is usually quite loyal, and you can carefully plan with him about the stakes of defending Shiling Pass, so as to test his attitude." ”

Li Yi was always a little suspicious of Cui Zhong, so he said, "If I tell him, will he be willing to obey my arrangement?" ”

Li Yi then found Cui Zhong with Zhi Ke and asked him to lead his troops to Shiling Pass.

Cui Zhong really didn't listen.

Moreover, Cui Zhong also competed with him for the key to the city gate.

He said: "The public is a court official, and if the public is in charge of the key to the city gate, I am afraid that the people will be suspicious." ”

Cui Zhong said: "I am the highest military commander here, and the key to the city gate should be given to me!" ”

They argue and fight.

Seeing this, Li Yi was very angry, snatched the key to the city gate, broke it in two at once, and said, "Since we swore to defend the city for the country, why fight for this key?" Don't fight, break the siege and then open the city! ”

The next day, Cui Zhong summoned his colleagues in the county government to come to the meeting.

Prisoner Zhang Hongfu said to Cui Zhong: "I heard that some people in the Yisheng Army want to make an internal response for the Jin people, what should I do? ”

Cui Zhong replied: "How dare you allow your subordinates to rebel!" ”

As he spoke, Cui Zhong looked at his subordinates, and suddenly pulled out his saber and stabbed Zhang Hongfu to death.

Li Yi was shocked when he heard the news, and hurriedly led his army to come.

After repelling the rebels, Li Yi sent people to look for Cui Zhong, but they couldn't find it.

At this time, the Jin army happened to come to attack the city.

There was no way, Li Yi could only take people to defend the city.

Soon, Cui Zhong gathered the Han Er who were scattered by Li Yi, and then killed people and fired, causing chaos in the city, and later took advantage of the chaos to seize the city gate and lead the Jin army into the city.

Li Yi led the army to fight the Jin army to the end, fighting from dark to dawn, and finally was captured by exhaustion.

After Li Yi was captured, Wanyan Zonghan sent people to persuade him many times, persuaded him to surrender, and promised to reuse him.

However, Li Yi was determined to kill himself to become benevolent, so he scolded the Jin people for betraying the alliance and would suffer evil consequences.

On this day, Wanyan Zonghan sent someone to Li Yi and said: "I want to take the world, and you, a small county town, dare to resist my 100,000 army?" I like your loyalty, and I can't bear to kill you, so I persuade you to surrender, and I will reinstate you and serve under my account, and I will not treat you badly. ”

After hearing this, Li Yi folded it in half and said: "I will not eat the preface, I will live and die with the public." ”

Then, Li Yi scolded the Jin people loudly and said: "I am a courtier of the Southern Dynasty, because of the traitor's internal response, the city was broken and captured, and if I kill it, I will be killed, how can I worship Rufan Dog?" ”

The translator saw Li Yi's loyalty, and did not translate Li Yi's words completely literally, wanting to save Li Yi's life.

But Li Yi didn't appreciate it, he angrily pointed his finger at the person sent by Wanyan Zonghan and said, "I was unfortunately robbed and humiliated by Fangou today, how can I be a survivor!" ”

Zhi Kehe also said loudly: "I have been guarding the family for eighty years, how can I be willing to lose the reputation of the country and corrupt the family, ignorant animals, why don't you kill me urgently!" ”

The Jin people were all scolded and angry by Li Yi and Zhe Kehe, and they came up to beat Li Yi and Zhe Kehe.

Li Yi was hit in the forehead with a stick, and he was blinded in one eye, but they still scolded the golden man.

After Yan Zonghan learned of the situation, he sighed that Li Yi was observant, and sent someone to tell him earnestly: "You and others deserve to die, but remembering your loyalty, the minister and marshal want to give you a chance to live, how can you still scold him like this?" ”

Li Yi replied: "If my generation has an inch in his hand, he will kill the thief, how can he just scold him?" ”

The Jin people knew that Li Yi would not give in, so they drove him to the city of Laoxian in a carriage and paraded the public.

Not long after entering the city, walking on the street, Li Yi suddenly saw Cui Zhong.

Li Yi scolded Cui Zhong, and Cui Zhong was speechless in shame, hiding his face and fleeing.

When he was killed, Li Yi made a request to the Jin soldiers guarding it: "I want to slow down, if you have to look south and worship, you will die without hatred!" ”

Jin Bing did not agree.

Li Yi then turned his head to the south and shouted: "Official, official, the minister is weak, and he can't destroy this thief to repay the country's kindness!" ”

The voice of pathos, until death.
