…

In order to understand the situation of the Jin army, the seed master Dao sent someone to invite Shen Xuan to the Xuanfu Division.

After Shen Xuan arrived at the Xuanfu Division, he said to the planter: "If there were thousands of people guarding the bank of the Yellow River, how could the Jin soldiers go to the capital? ”

The Seed Master Dao also felt very strange about this, but the matter has come to this point, and there is no point in thinking about these things anymore.

He carefully inquired about the situation of the Jin army, and consulted Shen Xuan about the characteristics of the terrain in Hebei and where it was better to stop the Jin army.

Shen Xuan said what he had said to Li Gang before and said it to the seed master again.

After listening to what Shen Xuan said, the seed master ordered Yao Pingzhong to lead his troops to approach the Jin army camp, forcing the Jin army rangers not to dare to go out and plunder.

Really!

The Jin soldiers were very nervous, hiding in the camp, not daring to move.

The planter Dao made up his mind and began to plan a counterattack.

Li Gang supported the plan of the planter.

Soon, at the Imperial Conference, the main battle faction of the military represented by Li Gang and Chongshi Dao obviously had the upper hand and received strong support from Zhao Huan.

At the meeting, a date was even preliminarily set for sending troops to attack the Jin army, and corresponding military arrangements were made.

However, the Lords and factions represented by Li Bangyan still pushed back and resisted the use of troops.

They thought that sending troops to attack the Jin people was a very risky act, and that if they failed, all previous efforts in peace talks would be wasted, and the country would be in danger of being lost.

Regarding the differences between the generals, Zhao Huan is very clear in his heart.

However, Zhao Huan didn't think there was anything wrong with this, just like his attitude had changed.

In the past, due to the lack of military strength, he naturally had to adopt the suggestions of Li Bangyan and others and negotiate peace.

And now, King Qin's soldiers have come to more than 200,000, several times more than the Jin people, especially the famous general of the Western Army, Dao Shidao has come to him, of course, he wants to regain the dignity he lost before, hoping to expel the Jin people by force.

In good conscience, Zhao Huan's change does not violate human nature, reason, and basic logic.

But the problem is that Zhao Huan's transformation is also a little too fast, and the transformation is a little too big.

From blindly seeking peace before, Zhao Huan quickly turned into a blind main battle, and even hoped to fight with the Jin army immediately.

Zhao Huan sent his inner servants five times in one day to urge the Seed Master Dao, and asked the Seed Master Dao to consider whether he could send troops as soon as possible?

He was very calm and calm, and he refused to rush to send troops, he wanted to wait for Yao Gu to lead the western army to arrive before attacking the Jin people as planned, and he did not approve of starting in advance.

Zhao Huan was a little disappointed by the performance of the Seed Master, and Zhao Huan pinned his hopes on Yao Pingzhong, the commander of the capital.

Yao Pingzhong is very brave and good at fighting, and he has always tried to express himself.

From the previous Tong Guan to the current Seed Master, they all pressed Yao Pingzhong and did not let Yao Pingzhong express himself.

Now, Yao Pingzhong has finally come to show his chance.

Yao Pingzhong said to Zhao Huan: "The soldiers are willing to fight quickly, but now they are not fighting, and they are all complaining. ”

Zhao Huan said: "Xuan Fu did not agree to start a war immediately. ”

Yao Pingzhong immediately said: "The minister is willing to lead the troops to knock on the golden camp at night, capture and leave (Wanyan Zongwang), and return to King Kang." ”

Zhao Huan was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately promised Yao Pingzhong: "If you succeed, you should be awarded a thrifty award." ”

If you want to say, rob the camp, you should hurry up.

But Zhao Huan Fei asked the warlock Chu Tianjue to calculate the day of the robbery.

As a result, after Chutian calculated, he said that the day of victory would be three days later in February Ding You (that is, the first day of the second month).

In three days, the daylilies were cold, and there was such a long interval in between, how could it not leak the news?

But Zhao Huan didn't think so, he felt that the Song army would definitely be able to win with one blow, and then he could be ashamed and become a great emperor like Emperor Qin and Han Wu.

Zhao Huan not only asked Yao Pingzhong to sneak attack the Jin camp, but after Yao Pingzhong sent troops, he asked Li Gang to send troops to help.

Li Gang said that there was no consultation in advance, and the soldiers and horses were not prepared, so it was inappropriate to send troops rashly.

Zhao Huan didn't listen, and even sent three waves of inner servants to urge Li Gang to send troops.

Li Gang had no choice but to order the army to assemble urgently.

When the morning was about to dawn, the former army commander Zhang Yu, the right army commander Shi Jun, the Chinese army commander Xin Kangzong, the left army commander Liu Dian, the rear army commander Wang Shigu, and the dare to fight army commander Fan Qiong were all assembled, and then they led the army out of the city from Fengqiu Gate and advanced to Banjingguan and Tiansijian.

But at this time, Yao Pingzhong's raid on the camp had failed, and Yao Pingzhong had already left his troops and fled alone.

It turns out -

Yao Pingzhong ordered his general Wang Tong to be the commander of the vanguard army and take the lead in robbing the camp.

Wang Tong received the order, and then led 500 soldiers who dared to fight to the death to arrive at the Jin camp.

However, Wang Tong robbed the two villages in a row, and when he reached the third village, thousands of iron horsemen of the Jin army suddenly came out!

These thousands of iron horsemen are all the elite of the Jin Army, and they have come suddenly!

Wang Tong and the death squad were suddenly surrounded by the Jin army!

They fought to the death, waiting for reinforcements.

And yet—

Most of the supporting soldiers fell into the deep ditch next to the village with men and horses, and Chen Kai, the general of the Western Army, was killed in battle.

Wang Tong saw that he was seriously wounded and half of him, and the cavalry of the Jin army was coming from the north and south, and was about to form a front and rear attack, so he could only lead 300 cavalry to break through.

After Wang Tong saw Yao Pingzhong, Yao Pingzhong ordered him to lead the crowd to get on his horse and run west.

At this time, the cavalry of the Jin army had already chased after and scattered the Song army.

The rout of the Song army immediately ran back.

The Jin army pursued the Song army until Banqiao before it began to retreat.

Yao Pingzhong was defeated and fled, and Yao Pingzhong's lieutenant Yang Kesheng was unfortunately captured.

That night, Wanyan Zongwang personally interrogated Yang Kesheng and said: "The two countries have made peace, and they have come to rob the village again, why not?" ”

Yang Kesheng replied: "Kesheng went to Beijing with the soldiers of King Qin, and the three armies wanted to fight, so the victory rate was not the intention of the imperial court." ”

Yang Kesheng took all the responsibility on himself, and no matter how Yan Zongwang asked him, he didn't change his words.

Wanyan Zongwang was furious and ordered Yang Kesheng to be killed.

Yang Kesheng, the brother of Shaanxi brave general Yang Keshi, died heroically.

At this time, another part of the Jin army chased to Mutianpo and met the army led by Li Gang.

The Jin army concentrated its forces and launched a fierce charge against the Song army.

Seeing this, Li Gang ordered to fight back with a divine arm bow.

The Song army and the Jin army fought fiercely at the curtain slope.

The fighting was fierce, with both sides suffering casualties.

In the end, the Jin army was defeated and retreated.

In order to prevent the Jin army from fighting again, Li Gang and the troops of the Xingying Division stayed outside the city.

Regarding Yao Pingzhong's attack on the gold camp at night, Zhao Huan thought that it would be successful, and he was looking forward to the good news of a complete victory in the early morning.

However, in the early morning of the next day, Li Bangyan and other people from the Lord played together and said: "The division of the king of the western soldiers and the soldiers of the battalion were annihilated by the enemy, and there was no survivor. ”

Zhao Huan was shocked when he heard the news, and hurriedly issued an edict, ordering all armies not to enter!

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Huan put all the responsibility on Yao Pingzhong and the Western Army, and personally wrote a letter to Wanyan Zongwang, saying that he wanted to arrest Yao Pingzhongming and punish him, and gave Wanyan Zongwang a lot of treasures, hoping to continue to negotiate peace with the Jin Army.

Li Bangyan and other lords and factions believed that the danger was imminent, and it was not enough to take these measures, but should also show the sincerity of the peace negotiations with practical actions, and should call Li Ze to hold the national letter to cut the land to make peace, and with a map and an oath, Lu Yundi was ordered to cut Taiyuan, Qin Hui to cut Hejian, and Cheng Yu to cut Zhongshan.

Zhao Huan agreed with Li Bangyan and others, and ordered Yuwen Xuzhong to explain to Jin Ren in person, saying that Yao Pingzhong and others were good at using military armor, and they had made several mistakes in peace negotiations, and they had sent land envoys to hand over the land of the three passes.

Zhao Huan, the minister and all relevant parties gathered in the capital hall for a meeting.

They unanimously agreed that under the current situation, we must resolutely implement the policy of peace talks without the slightest wavering.

The planter Dao was also present, and he made a different suggestion, saying: "The robbery of the village has been mistaken, but there are also those who are taken by surprise. It is also strange to send troops to attack it again tonight. If it is still invincible, then thousands of people will disturb it every night, and within ten days, the enemy will escape. The victory and defeat are often the norm, and the ears of the re-attack are just the ears, why be discouraged? ”

Regarding this suggestion of the seed master, Zhao Huan and Li Bangyan and other rulers did not listen.

Not only that, Li Bangyan and others also started to play one after another, believing that Li Gang and Seed Master Dao had failed to teach the teacher, but they could be canonical and asked for the removal of Li Gang and Seed Master Dao from their posts.

Zhao Huan played the quasi-performance, so he dismissed the post of Xuanfu envoy of the seed master Dao and reappointed him as the first palace envoy; dismissed Li Gangshangshu Youcheng and personally recruited the position of camp envoy, and ordered Cai Mao to replace him.

Zhao Huan knew better than anyone who arranged Yao Pingzhong's robbery camp, but if the robbery camp was defeated, someone had to take responsibility, so Li Gang and Seed Master Dao became scapegoats.

Li Bangyan and others still felt that this was not enough, so they wanted to tie up Li Gang and hand him over to the Jin people for disposal.

But for some reason, the Jin envoy didn't accept it, but said that it was impossible, thinking that it would be better for the Great Song to deal with it himself.

Li Gang learned that things had changed outside the city, so he immediately led the army into the city, and then went to meet Zhao Huan and wanted to discuss countermeasures with Zhao Huan.

But Zhao Huan refused.

At this time, Li Gang knew that he had been dismissed, so he retreated to the bathroom courtyard and waited for Zhao Huan to surrender.

After Cai Mao took over the post of Li Gang's battalion envoy, he immediately sent people to count the losses, and the result was that the battalion division lost more than 100 people, and the losses were not as serious as Li Bangyan and others said, and the western soldiers were only more than 1,000 wounded, and the other Qin Wang's divisions did not have any losses because they did not send troops.

Obviously, Li Bangyan and other lords and factions exaggerated the losses of the army, and they wanted to use this to attack the military forces such as Li Gang and Chongshidao, who advocated war against the Jinren.

The political struggle has always been shameless and without a bottom line, which does not blame Li Bangyan for their ruthlessness, for their own selfish interests, dare to gamble on the future of the country, complain only that Zhao Huan is mediocre and incompetent, as the highest decision-maker in the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Huan obviously lacks due insight, and he can't see the truth of the matter at all, and he also lacks due decisiveness, swinging between peace and war, a few days ago, he also tried his best to urge the seed master to send troops to attack the Jinren, but now he thinks that sending troops is a wrong choice, thinking that peace is the right way.

Cai Mao is also a member of the Lord's Peace Faction.

Therefore, after Cai Mao took office, he immediately ordered the army to withdraw into the city, leaving only Fan Qiong and Ma Zhong's troops outside the city.

Seeing this, the Jin army began to run rampant again, sending rangers everywhere to show off their might.

Cai Mao also ordered that no resistance or return fire should be allowed.

Cai Mao's actions puzzled the Song army soldiers, and people privately thought that Cai Mao had two hearts and might have secretly surrendered to the Jin people.

The robbery of the camp by the Song army aroused a high degree of vigilance from Wanyan Zongwang.

Wanyan Zongwang felt that the Song army came to rob the camp regardless of the safety of the hostages, which showed that the weight of the hostages in the minds of the Song people was not heavy enough.

Moreover, judging from Zhao Gou's series of performances after coming to Jinying, he doesn't look too much like a prince.

Especially a few days ago, Wanyan Zongwang shot an arrow with Zhao Gou in order to test Zhao Gou's archery technique, but he didn't expect that Zhao Gou would shoot three arrows in a row.

This surprised Wanyan Zongwang and other golden people!

The Jin people generally believed: "Zhao Gou should be a good general, and he doesn't seem to be a prince, how can a prince be good at riding and shooting?" ”

Wanyan Zongwang then decided to send Zhao Gou back and change another prince to be a hostage.

Zhao Huan had no choice but to let Zhao Shu, the king of Su, go back in exchange for Zhao Gou, and in addition, Zhao Huan also sent his only brother-in-law Cao Sheng as a hostage.

Wanyan Zongwang also asked Prime Minister Li Bangyan to come as a hostage.

Zhao Huan deceived Yan Zongwang and said that Li Bangyan was no longer the prime minister, and then promoted Zhang Bangchang to Dazai, that is, the prime minister, and let Zhang Bangchang continue to stay in Jinying as a hostage.

Saying that Li Bangyan is no longer the prime minister is actually not completely deceiving Yan Zongwang.

Li Bangyan and other lords and factions were not worried about the failure of Yao Pingzhong's robbery camp, but rejoiced.

Because this just created an opportunity for them to oust Li Gang, who opposed the peace proposal, from power.

After the conspiracy succeeded, they enthusiastically drank wine in the capital hall and celebrated publicly.

This aroused the anger of the people, especially the students.

The students wrote one after another, asking Li Gang and the seed master to reuse.

This sound is getting louder and louder.

Later, tens of thousands of people unexpectedly gathered outside the Xuande Gate.

It happened that hundreds of officials retreated, and the court officials came from Donghua Gate to Xuande Gate one after another.

When Li Bangyan walked to the door, someone suddenly recognized him, and everyone hula rushed up, accusing him one after another, counting his crimes, and some people scolded loudly, "Li Bangyan, you are a prodigal son, how can you be the prime minister?" ”

Some people went straight to Li Bangyan and beat Li Bangyan, while others picked up the rubble on the ground and threw it at Li Bangyan.

Li Bangyan saw that the situation was not good, so he turned his head and ran.

Because he is good at playing football, Li Bangyan ran very fast and was lucky to pick up a dog's life.

People thought that Zhao Huan had traitors around him, and he deceived the saints, so he dismissed Li Gang and Seed Master Dao, who defended Bianliang City, so they were furious.

The inner servant Zhu Gongzhi Xuan Li Gang did not arrive on time.

Everyone was very angry, and immediately stepped forward together, dragged Zhu Gongzhi off the horse, and soon chopped him alive, cut his flesh and bones, and cut off his limbs.

At this time, someone pretended that Zhao Huan had an edict: "Those who kill the ministers are not guilty." ”

The crazy people then saw the chamberlain and beat him.

Among those who were beaten before and after, there were 37 people, including Zhang Taiwei.

Not only were they beaten, but the people were vying to eat the flesh of these chamberlains.

More than a dozen attendants were beaten to death.

The people also dug up the liver sausages of the dead chamberlains, hung them on the top of bamboo poles, and shouted to the people in the street: "This traitor! ”

Obviously, at this time, whether it is citizens, soldiers, or students, people's emotions have gone out of control, and they have become more and more crazy, some have even lost their rationality, and some people are taking advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos.

A patriotic student tide gradually evolved into a bloody riot that was very rare in the history of the Great Song Dynasty.

Seeing that the situation was like this, Zhao Huan hurriedly reinstated Li Gang and announced that Li Gang hurried in.

After Li Gang saw Zhao Huan, he hurriedly cried and asked for death.

Zhao Huan also cried aggrievedly, and immediately issued an order to restore Li Gangshangshu to the right position, and concurrently serve as the envoy of the four walls of western Beijing, and remove Cai Mao from his post.

Li Gang tried his best to refuse, but Zhao Huan did not allow it, so Li Gang immediately went to the area from Donghua Gate to Youye Gate to pacify the army and civilians.

Li Gangzhi went.

As soon as people saw Li Gang, they all shouted: "Right and the people are the master!" ”

Li Gang replied: "Gang is already here, that is, he has landed in the city." The people are not worried, and they are urged to take care of the old and the young. ”

Everyone saw that Li Gang had indeed resumed his duties, so they dispersed a little.

But there are still some people who refuse to disperse, and they shout that they will not retreat until they see the Planter.

Li Gang hurriedly went back to report to Zhao Huan.

Zhao Huan then sent people to the western army outside the city to supervise the cultivation of the master, and asked him to enter the city immediately to suppress it.

Soon, the planter road came by car.

Everyone went up and opened the curtain of the car to see that it was indeed the planter, so they shouted loudly: "Fruit my father!" ”

The people are slowly retreating.

Li Bangyan saw that Zhao Huan had resumed his position as Li Gang and Seed Master, and he felt bad, so he asked Zhao Huan to resign, wanting to test Zhao Huan's attitude.

Zhao Huan did not approve Li Bangyan's Zhishi, and only agreed to remove him from the post of prime minister and let him serve as a scholar of the Guanwen Palace and an envoy of the Taiyi Palace.

Zhao Huan thought to himself, "Now due to social pressure, Li Gang has to be reactivated, but this does not mean that the national policy has returned to the track of the main battle, and peace may be negotiated in the future, so Li Bangyan and others are still useful." ”

In this regard, although Zhao Huan did not say it explicitly, Li Bangyan already understood it.

Soon after Li Gang was reinstated, he climbed the city wall to inspect the defense, express his condolences to the officers and soldiers, and boost their morale.

Li Gang's military order is just the opposite of Cai Mao.

Cai Mao once ordered the soldiers: "The Jin people are close to the city, and they must not be attacked." ”

Some of the soldiers disobeyed the order, and when they saw the golden man approaching, they lit fire and opened fire, and fired bed crossbows.

As a result, the soldiers were all beaten with canes and torn to pieces.

The Song soldiers were furious about this.

Li Gang clearly declared: "When you see the enemy coming, you will attack, and those who hit will be rewarded." ”

When the officers and men of the Song army heard the news, they were all overjoyed.

A few days later, the Song soldiers fired a cannon of conscience outside the city, striking at the Jin people gathered outside the Xianfeng Gate.

The Jin people all retreated in surprise, and in the blink of an eye, there was no one.

It has been a month since the Jin army came outside the city of Tokyo, and although the city has not been broken, the war purpose of ceding land and paying reparations has been achieved.

After receiving the edict of Zhao Huan ceding the three towns and the king of Su coming to the army as a hostage, Wanyan Zongwang decided to lead his troops north.

Although there was still a large amount of gold silk in the Song Kingdom that had not yet been paid, Wanyan Zongwang thought that he could not wait any longer.

Because according to the report, Li Gang and Seed Master Dao, who were in the main battle, have been reinstated, and there are still many soldiers of King Qin in the Song army who are rushing to the capital, and they have less than 40,000 horses, and the food is almost exhausted.

Wanyan Zongwang felt that if the confrontation continued like this, they might not be able to leave.

Soon, Wanyan Zongwang sent Han Guangyi to the palace to say goodbye, and gave a farewell to Zhao Huan on his behalf.

Seeing that the Jin people were going to withdraw the army, Zhao Huan was overjoyed, and immediately sent Shaoyin Wang Shiyong and others from Kaifeng Mansion to bring many gifts such as tea fruits, borneol, wine and medicine, and rushed to the Jin camp to give a banquet.

The Jin army on the eastern route soon began to formally withdraw from outside Bianliang City.

When the master learned about it, he entered the palace and suggested to Song Qinzong: "The thief will not be equipped when he returns, please invite the river, wait for his half-crossing to hit it, and the three battles can make him unstoppable. ”

Coincidentally, Li Ze and other lords and ministers were all by Zhao Huan's side.

They all advised Zhao Huan not to pursue, otherwise they would lose all their efforts.

Zhao Huan believed the words of Li Ze and others, so he ordered not to pursue.

As a veteran military strategist with rich experience in actual combat, Seed Master Dao was keenly aware that if he lost this great opportunity to defeat the main force of the Jin Army, there would be endless troubles in the future.

The seed master Dao was so anxious that he repeatedly persuaded Zhao Huan not to listen, and he was not in good health, which led to an attack on his heart, and then he fell ill all of a sudden.

It was not only the master who persuaded Zhao Huan to intercept the Jin army, but also Zhang Shuye.

Zhang Shuye also made up the chapter and said that he was willing to lead the army to intercept the Jin army.

But Zhao Huanli ignored Uncle Zhang.

As a result, the Jin army left the Great Song Dynasty with countless treasures and the women they plundered.

The retreat of the Jin army meant that the first battle for the defense of Tokyo, which lasted more than a month, was finally over.

Some people believe that under the leadership of Li Gang, the Northern Song Dynasty finally won the victory in this defensive battle.

In fact, this defense battle did not distinguish victory or defeat militarily, the Jin army failed to attack the city twice, and the Song army also failed to rob the camp once.

According to the situation of the war, the two sides should be regarded as a peace.

But—

If you look at the results.

The Jin people obtained a large number of gold and silver treasures from the Song Kingdom, and took away a lot of Song women, but they only lost thousands of soldiers and horses, the key is to make the Song people frightened.

It's a big win.

Therefore, in this battle, the Jin people won without victory, and the Song people were defeated without defeat......
