…

Today, Li Yan is in a very bad mood.

A very important news has just come back from the front - Fan Zhixu was defeated by the general Wanyan Lou Room of the Jin State, and now he is fleeing to Shaanxi.

Fan Zhixu was an old minister of the Song Dynasty, and he was a three-year jinshi of Song Zhezong Yuanyou.

Last year, Fan Zhixu was appointed as the prefect of Jingzhao Mansion (later Xi'an, Shaanxi) and took measures to deploy Shaanxi soldiers and horses.

Later, Zhao Huan appointed Fan Zhixu as the Shaanxi Xuanfu envoy and the Shaanxi Five-Way Economic Envoy.

Also ordered to take measures for the Shaanxi soldiers and horses was Qian Gai, who served as the envoy of Shaanxi.

At that time, the Jin army of the West Road was besieging Taiyuan, and the sonic shock was in the pass.

Fan Zhixu learned that the Jin army on the western route was besieging Taiyuan, and initially planned to hold on to the Yellow River and block the Jin army to the east of the river.

Therefore, Fan Zhixu ordered the construction of a chain of fortresses along the banks of the Yellow River.

To this end, Fan Zhixu recruits talents.

Fan Zhi's principle of recruiting talents is that no matter how many people have expertise, as long as they have expertise, they will be paid to them by borrowing official positions.

Therefore, such as the monk Zongyin and the Taoist priest Zhang Xiaoqing, they were all borrowed as subordinate officials.

Zong Yin is a native of Xiaoyi County, Fenzhou, his surname is Zhao, he is a monk, and he is the elder of Wanhua Temple.

When Zongyin saw the flames of war, he wanted to go to other places to avoid chaos.

When passing through a temple in Hezhong Mansion (Puzhou Town, Yongji, Shanxi Province in later generations), Zongyin inscribed a poem, saying:

"Seventy old monks return to the west and the east, and the township is in sight. Da Liao is half a year old and nine points are exhausted, and the whole Jin is a thousand miles away. Zhou Zhao is dead and has no good governance, although Cai Tong is dead, there is still a wind. Huayin begged to go to the mountain, and the rock valley looked for the four old men. ”

The appeasement made Xi Yi happen to see this poem and felt that it was very level, so he sent someone to recover Zongyin.

Xi Yi talked to Zong Yin and was amazed, so he recommended him to Fan Zhixu.

When Zong Yin and Fan Zhixu met, they talked about the way of using soldiers, and they talked endlessly.

Fan Zhixu thought that Zongyin was a strange man, so he made him a vulgar man, borrowed the official position of Zhongsan Doctor and Zhilong Tuge, and appointed him as the senator of the Xuanfu Division and the control of military horses, Wang Wei, Wang Fang, Li Daofeng, Song Jian and other generals of the Western Army must obey his jurisdiction and command.

Zongyin suggested to Fan Zhixu to build the Great Wall, starting from Tongguan and ending at Longmen.

Zong Yin said to Fan Zhixu: "In this way, you can block the Jin people from the Great Wall." ”

Fan Zhixu happily accepted it and signed an official document, sternly urging all localities to take immediate action.

However, officials at all levels disagreed.

But Fan Zhixuan didn't care about it and forcibly implemented Zongyin's plan to build the Great Wall.

The officials then fooled things up.

As a result, the Great Wall built up was only shoulder high, which did not play any role, and the golden soldiers could jump over the "Great Wall of Ten Thousand Miles" with a leap of horses.

In the end, the large force of the Jin army easily passed through Fan Zhixu's Great Wall and then crossed the Yellow River.

After that, the small force of the Jin army and Fan Zhixu's 200,000 army (in fact, there were only more than 100,000) were circling around the vicinity of Tongguan.

In fact, Fan Zhixu is a literati who doesn't know anything about soldiers at all, and he is definitely a layman when it comes to border guards.

At that time, some people offered to defend the river in order to get a reward, such as the construction of the Great Wall offered by Zongyin, which was like child's play.

But Fan Zhixu couldn't detect it, and often ordered it to be carried out according to the law, and as a result, the military and civilians and the prefectures and counties were overwhelmed.

Fan Zhixu also imitated Zhang Liang's "Song of Sanchu" in the Western Han Dynasty, wrote "Song of Sanjin", and sent people to post it next to the Jin army village, or hang it in the state and county occupied by the Jin people.

The lyrics read:

Bingwu is new and returns to Ding Weichu, and the golden people are like fish in a kettle. The fish is always alive when diving to the bottom, and the fish is at the beam where the original self-inflicted death. The northerners are like southern horses, and the red sheep and golden rabbits commit suicide. If you go south to kill gold, the golden dragon will also be destroyed this autumn. Half of the northerners are the people of the Southern Dynasty, and the Southern Dynasty will eventually be the king. Frustrated, he temporarily resigned from the Han master, and he couldn't bear to miss his relatives.

But—

Although Fan Zhixu's ability is not good, he has never forgotten his mission to Shaanxi.

After capturing Taiyuan, the Jin army on the Western Route quickly moved south and crossed the Yellow River with ease.

When the Song army heard this, the Song army dispersed, and Wang Xiang, the governor of the West Road, abandoned Xijing and fled south.

The situation has changed abruptly, and the capital is in danger.

After Zhao Huan got the report, he appointed Sun Zhaoyuan, a member of the Ministry of Water, as the deputy head of the Secret Pavilion to revise the West Road, and ordered him to immediately go to Shaanxi to pass a decree to Fan Zhixu, asking the Shaanxi army to quickly enter the king of Beijing Qin.

Sun Zhaoyuan led three cavalry out of Beijing, recruited hundreds of defeated soldiers along the way, and then entered Shangluo from Nanyang, and finally arrived at Jingzhao Mansion, where he met Fan Zhixu.

Sun Zhaoyuan handed over the soldiers recruited along the way to Fan Zhixu, and the soldiers of Fan Zhixu were united, and conveyed Zhao Huan's holy decree, and at the same time introduced the situation in the capital when he left, as well as what he heard and saw on the way.

At that time, Shaanxi made Qian Gai lead 100,000 Qinwang soldiers and had arrived in Yingchang (later Xuchang, Henan).

However, when Qian Gai heard that the Jingshi had been broken, they fled directly.

According to this situation, Sun Zhaoyuan believes that Shaanxi must set up a separate Qinwang team.

Fan Zhixu immediately sent a message to the Shaanxi Zhulu and asked for a quick gathering of troops to go to King Qin in Beijing.

The Northern Song Dynasty has five roads at the junction of Shaanxi and Xixia, that is, five war zones, namely Xihe Road, Qinfeng Road, Jingyuan Road, Huanqing Road, and Yanyan Road.

Each road has a pacification department of the economic strategy, which is in charge of the military and political power of the road, and the chief is called the economic and strategic envoy, commonly known as the marshal - this is mainly set up to deal with the Western Xia militarily.

In the event of war with the Western Xia, the imperial court would send ministers to serve as Shaanxi Xuanfu envoys or Shaanxi envoys to unify the command of the Six Route Army.

Fan Zhixu's identity is not only the economic envoy of the Yongxing Army, but also the Xuanfu envoy of Shaanxi.

It stands to reason that Fan Zhixu has the right to mobilize the troops of the Sixth Route Army in Shaanxi.

However, after Fan Zhixu's letter was issued, only Wang Yi, who was slightly envoyed by Huanqing Jing and Wang Yi, was slightly envoyed by Xihe Jing, and quickly led troops to meet, while Xigong, Qin Fengjing, Zhao Dian, and Zhang Shen, were not there.

At that time, Sun Zhaoyuan was very angry and wrote a total of 28 letters criticizing them.

Zhang Shen led the troops here, and Zhao Dian also sent the general Li An to lead the troops to help.

Zhou Lianghan, a professor of Qinzhou Prefecture Studies, once met with Zhao Dian, and persuaded Zhao Dian to personally lead the troops on the grounds that the capital was in danger, but Zhao Dian did not listen.

Jingyuan Jinglu made Xi Gong defend Western Xia on the grounds that he did not come in the end.

Fan Zhixu finally joined the soldiers and horses of the six routes, with a total of more than 100,000 soldiers, known as the 200,000 infantry army, and was led by Ma Changyou, the commander of the Chengzhou regiment of the right military doctor.

Fan Zhixu ordered Zong Yin to lead the boat division along the waterway and advance to Luoyang, Xijing.

Zongyin organized the monks into an army, which was called the "Zunsheng Team"; The children are organized into an army, which is called the "net victory team".

Most of the monks and children in Hedong were incorporated into the army, and some were borrowed as officials.

Zong Yin led the boat division down the river and arrived at Sanmenjin in a few days, accumulating small victories along the way.

Fan Zhixu was very happy to hear the news, and ordered Zongyin to be granted the envoy of the Hedong system, and ordered him to send troops in order.

At the same time, Fan Zhixu ordered Ma Changyou to clean up the army and march to Tongguan.

After capturing Tongguan, Fan Zhixu ordered to continue the eastward march and asked the three armies to march out of the pass.

Soon, after Fan Zhixu led the army out of Wuguan, he was active in the area of Mianchi, and then stationed in Qianqiu Town.

In Qianqiu Town, Fan Zhixu finally learned that Zhao Song had died.

Wanyan Zonghan also sent envoys to take Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan's imperial pen to recruit Fan Zhixu.

Fan Zhixu flatly refused.

(Li Yan also sent someone to recruit Fan Zhixu, but Fan Zhixu also flatly refused.) ）

Wanyan Zonghan asked for the lives of Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan, as well as the Zhao and Song royal families and clans, and asked Fan Zhixu to let go of the road they occupied to Hedong.

Fan Zhixu made a condition and said that as long as the Jin people released Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan and all the Song people, he would let the Jin people return to Hedong.

Wanyan Zonghan agreed on the surface, but then, he sent Lou Mu to lead the main force of 3,000 cavalry, and suddenly rushed straight to Qianqiu Town from Yiyang.

Fan Zhixu was defenseless, and as a result, he was defeated, and then abandoned his baggage and ran, killing and wounding almost half of them.

The soldiers and horses of the King of Zhuluqin in Shaanxi, known as the 200,000 army, and the most elite Western army of the 200,000 Great Song Dynasty, collapsed in one fell swoop.

Only the soldiers and horses led by Zhang Shen and Liu Guangshi were not defeated, and they turned to Ruzhou (later Ruzhou, Henan) and went to Songzhou (later Shangqiu, Henan) on Jingdong Road, that is, to Tianfu.

In the end, Fan Zhixu packed up the remnants of the soldiers and horses and retreated to Tongguan, and the gate of Hedong was opened, and the already desperate Jin people had a glimmer of life.

That's it, the key is that Li Yan's recovery of Yanyun has been variable since then - if Wanyan Zonghan can go back with these thirty or forty thousand Jurchen elites, then the Jin army will have the capital to turn the tables.

In other words, the cooked duck may be flying from Li Yan's mouth.

In this case, it is strange that Li Yan's mood can be good.

Li Yan, who was holding back the evil fire in his belly, as soon as he returned to the harem, he asked Xiaoman, the female official on duty today: "Where is Zhao Go's concubine?" ”
