What the hell is going on with Chu Zhou and Zhao Li?

Here's the thing.

You really don't want to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty in one fell swoop, and Li Yan doesn't want to connect all his territory?

In fact, it's not that Dazhong and Li Yan don't want to, it's that Dazhong and Li Yan don't have this ability now.

At this stage, most of the elites of Dazhong have been transferred to the north to compete with Dajin for Yanyun, and on the southern front, although there are also elites like the Liberation Army, but in terms of overall strength, it is a little worse.

If the armies of the Southern Song Dynasty really fled from the wind as they did at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, then it would be enough, relying only on the troops on the southern front of the Great Central and Southern Front would be enough to pacify the world in the south.

However, the real combat strength of the Southern Song Dynasty army was not exactly what it was at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty.

First of all, the veteran Zong Ze has been resisting in the Jingchu area, so to speak, he is fighting very tenaciously and has no intention of crossing the river at all.

Secondly, there were still some troops that could fight in the Southern Song Dynasty, like Zhang Jun's troops and Liu Guangshi's troops, which still had some combat power.

And the most important thing is Chuzhou and Zhao Li.

In fact, after the war between the Middle Song Dynasty began, Yang Yi's initial plan was to capture the thief and capture the king, that is, to go directly to Jinling to capture Zhao Gou.

In Yang Yizhong's thoughts, if he could really capture Jiangling and capture Zhao Gou in one fell swoop, then the problem of the Southern Song Dynasty would be solved.

For this reason, Lieutenant General Yang Yi, who was very eye-catching at the beginning of the war, was sent to capture Jinling.

At that time, Fan Qiong happily accepted this task and gave Yang Yizhong a military order - to capture Zhao Gou in Jinling within a month.

Fan Qiong didn't say it casually, but really did it - after receiving the order, Fan Qiong personally led the army to the south quickly, and it was very likely to take Jinling directly.

At first, Fan Qiong fought very smoothly, and as soon as the army he led arrived, the defenders of the counties along the road either fled or simply surrendered, even if there was really some resistance, they couldn't withstand their attack.

In this regard, Fan Qiong at that time was very proud, and even thought that he was reincarnated in vain and Huo Qu was reborn from illness.

But just when Fan Qiong led the army to Chuzhou, something happened - Zhao Li's men and horses defended the city and blocked Fan Qiong's footsteps southward.

This Zhao Li can be said to be a hero who rose in the war.

At the beginning of last year, the Jin soldiers invaded on a large scale, and the bandits rose up, and Zhao Li was appointed as the military guard for his repeated exploits in suppressing bandits.

Last autumn, Jin Bingfu went south again, and the city of Bianliang fell.

Later, the Jin soldiers attacked Xuzhou, and Wang Fu held on to the danger and ordered Zhao Li to supervise the battle.

In a big battle, Zhao Li was shot by six arrows, but he became more and more brave the more he fought.

Because of Zhao Li's bravery, Wang Fu comforted Zhao Li with tears in his eyes, and Zhao Li also became the first general under Wang Fu.

Unfortunately, although Wang Fu and Zhao Li gave up their lives to protect Xuzhou, Xuzhou City was finally broken by Jin soldiers, and then Wang Fu and Wang Fu's family were all killed, only Wang Fu's only son Wang Tong was not killed because he left first, and Xuzhou Taishou Zheng Bao was also executed for insulting the enemy.

When Xuzhou had just broken the city, Zhao Li and Jin Bing fought in the streets, and later grabbed the city gate to escape, but were knocked out by Jin Bing.

After a light rain, Zhao Li crawled out of the pile of dead people, then killed the Jin army guards, found Wang Fu's body in the city, and buried Wang Fu with his hands in tears.

After that, Zhao Li secretly contacted the villagers to regain Xuzhou.

But at that time, Li Yan sent troops to the Central Plains, and the Jin soldiers hurriedly returned north.

Knowing that the Jin soldiers had fled northward, Zhao Li immediately led the remnants of the soldiers to chase and kill behind, cutting off the retreat of the Jin soldiers, and capturing thousands of boats and ships, and the morale of Zhao Li's sergeants was boosted.

After that, Zhao Li recruited villagers and recaptured Xuzhou.

As a result, Zhao Li was awarded the title of Zhongyilang and the governor of the state by the Southern Song Dynasty.

After Zhao Li made his fortune, he did not forget the old chief Wang Fu, and played to build a temple for Wang Fu.

Whenever Zhao Li encounters an expedition, he must lead the generals to pray in front of the temple: "You died for the country, and after you die, you will definitely bless those of us who survived in the underworld." ”

After the people of Qi heard about these things, they all attached themselves to Zhao Li.

At that time, the bandits in the Central Plains were reckless.

Zhao Li secretly helped these robbers to be reckless, and for a while he became famous in the rivers and lakes, and many people came to Zhao Li with their families.

Slowly, Zhao Li grew stronger.

Zhao Lihou was promoted due to merit, and the official became the right martial arts doctor and the Zhongzhou assassin history.

Soon, Fan Qiong led his troops south to attack Chuzhou, Chuzhou was in an emergency, and the Tongshou Jia Dunshi wanted to surrender Dazhong with the city.

After Du Chong learned of this, he ordered Zhao Li to lead his soldiers and horses to relieve the siege.

Zhao Li fought and walked, won all seven battles in a row, and finally arrived in Chuzhou.

At that time, Zhao Li's two cheeks were shot by arrows, and he couldn't speak, so he could only command with his hands, and he didn't pull out the arrow cluster until he entered Chuzhou City and arranged for the soldiers to rest.

Then, Fan Qiong's nightmare began.

In order to break through Chuzhou City, Fan Qiong can be said to have exhausted all means, and even personally led the death squad to attack the city.

Without exception, all of Fan Qiong's siege methods were resolved by Zhao Li, and Fan Qiong herself almost died in Chuzhou City.

Is that Fan Qiong's incompetence?

Not really.

Fan Qiong is leading the elite of the Chinese army, there are dozens of staff officers alone, hundreds of political workers, and the soldiers are all excellent reserves who graduated from the recruit department and the political department, so it is impossible for the combat power of this army to be weakened because of a commander, and besides, Fan Qiong's name as a fierce general is not fake, at the critical moment, Fan Qiong can take the lead and take the lead in the attack, otherwise he will not almost lose his life in Chuzhou City.

If you say so, it doesn't prove that the problem is not Fan Qiong.

That other thing must prove that if you can't beat Chuzhou, you don't complain about Fan Qiong.

This incident is that later, Fan Qiong repeatedly attacked Chuzhou, and Yang Yizhong led the troublesome army to attack Chuzhou in the south.

And then the eggs—

Even if Yang Yizhong personally fought against Zhao Li, he still couldn't capture Chuzhou.

After Yang Yizhong and Zhao Li fought back and forth for nearly half a month, Yang Yizhong finally admitted that he couldn't defeat Chuzhou by fighting like this, so he changed his tactics - between Chengzhou and Chuzhou, there were three big lakes of Fanliang, Xinkai and Baima, and Yang Yizhong could not attack Chuzhou for a long time, so he could only scatter his troops and cut off the connection between the two places.

Chuzhou ran out of food because of this.

But this did not discourage Chuzhou's resistance.

Zhao Li led the people of Chuzhou, first eating wild grass and aquatic grass to resist persistently.

Later, even the weeds and aquatic plants were eaten up by Zhao Li, and Zhao Li led the people of Chuzhou to resist by eating elm bark.

By the way, Fan Qiong and Yang Yizhong sent several waves of people to recruit Zhao Li, but all of them were cut off by Zhao Li, and Zhao Li and Chuzhou resolutely refused to surrender.

Chuzhou was like a nail firmly nailed in front of Jinling, so that the Chinese army could not go south to attack Jinling, and it was impossible to go south to capture Zhao Gou.

Let's put it this way, if there is no Zhao Li, there is no Chuzhou, the Southern Song Dynasty may be gone, not to mention the peace between the Song Dynasty and the Song Dynasty this time.

For Dazhong, Zhao Li and Chuzhou represent a huge obstacle, so they must be pulled out.

And this time Zhao Song begged to surrender, it was a good opportunity to pull out this nail and pull out this huge obstacle.

Zhao Ding, the middle and young master, seized this opportunity very keenly!
