…

Not long ago, Zhang Jun, who was preparing to fight with the Chinese army, suddenly received an amnesty order from Empress Dowager Pan in the name of Emperor Zhao Yang of Zheng'an.

Zhang Jun knew that the situation in the imperial court had changed.

How!

Shaanxi is too far away from Lin'an, and there are forces such as Dazhong, Li Cheng, and Zhong Xiang in the middle, so that it is impossible for Zhang Jun to bring troops back to King Qin.

Zhang Jun was originally a Jinshi, although he had already been a member of the Northern Song Dynasty court very early, but during the reign of Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan, Zhang Jun was only a minor official in the Ministry of Rites, and was not taken seriously, and he did not see much hope.

It wasn't until Zhang Jun desperately fled to the Southern Song Dynasty to join Zhao Gou, who was just about to ascend the throne at that time, that Zhang Jun came to run.

After Zhao Gou ascended the throne, the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty was extremely short of talents, so Zhang Jun, who was "virtuous and would rather give up his family than a thief", was promoted to serve the imperial history in the palace - this position was equivalent to an official of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection in later generations.

From the original seventh- and eighth-grade petty officials, to the three- and fourth-grade officials, it can be seen that Zhang Jun is more reused by Zhao Gou.

Later, Zhao Gou asked Zhang Jun to lead the troops to quell the rebellion, which gave Zhang Jun a chance to rise to prominence.

Therefore, Zhang Jun was grateful to Zhao Gou, and then loyal.

This is why Zhang Jun took the initiative to ask Ying to go to the west to operate the Sichuan-Shaanxi line for Zhao Gou.

Knowing that Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan had launched a mutiny and forced Zhao Gou to abdicate, Zhang Jun was anxious.

But Zhang Jun didn't tell anyone about it.

While hiding the amnesty of Empress Dowager Pan, Zhang Jun sent his henchman Feng Yi to Hangzhou to persuade Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan to restore Zhao Gou to the throne, while continuing to promote a decisive battle with the Chinese army.

In Zhang Jun's mind, as long as he defeated the Chinese army, he could, and he could support Zhao Gou to force Empress Dowager Pan, Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and others to return the government to Zhao Gou, and he could directly lead the troops back to King Qin.

This also led to the fact that the battle was greatly advanced - Zhang Jun was afraid that the night would be long and dreamy, so that after the soldiers of the Western Song Army knew about the Miao Liu mutiny, they then became divided, which led to the fact that the general battle he had prepared for a long time came to naught, so that the Great Song Dynasty had no last chance (Zhang Jun personally thinks).

Some people will ask, can Zhang Jun completely block the news for such a big matter?

Of course not.

But among the Song army, there are only some rumors with shadows, and there is no accurate news, and Zhang Jun defines these news as psychological warfare of the Chinese army.

The Chinese military has never come out to refute Zhang Jun's statement, so that the matter has been suppressed.

Speaking of which, some people may be a little puzzled, and don't understand why the Chinese army didn't confirm this news, isn't this a good opportunity to hit the morale of the Song army? Or did Wu Jue not know the news?

First of all, of course, Wu Jue knew the news of Miao Liu's mutiny, and even Wu Jue already knew the news of the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty.

However, like Zhang Jun, Wu Jue did not make a statement, he just brought Zhang Xian, Wang Yan and other major generals to discuss how to use this opportunity?

After discussing with Wu Jue and others, they concluded that once the news that the Southern Song Dynasty had perished was leaked, it would inevitably deal a great blow to the morale of the Song Western Army, and even make many Song Western Army defect, but this may also make the Song Western Army, which had finally come out of various dangerous places and gathered together, retreat back to those dangerous places, and then defend according to the danger.

Eight hundred miles of Qinchuan, north of Liangshan, Huanglongshan, Yaoshan, Sagashan, Jiuzhi Mountain, Qishan, Qianshan, Longshan and other Beishan mountain system, if these Song Western army according to the Beishan system, then let alone attack the western region, Dazhong did not even dare to occupy the Guanzhong Plain, because these Song Western armies can completely condescendingly control the Guanzhong Plain.

If things really develop like this, then how much effort will Dazhong will have to spend to conquer the western region for the time being, they will definitely be completely compared to the Pingnan Army, and he Wu Jue will also be completely compared to Yue Fei.

Of course, Wu Jue will not admit that he wants to compare with Yue Fei, and he will definitely say to the outside world that he has to think about Dazhong, if the Chinese army cannot attack the Beishan mountain system in one fell swoop, then Dazhong will not be able to pacify the western region.

Wu Jue said this, in fact, there is no problem, that is, from the perspective of Dazhong, the Chinese army is bound to fight the Beishan system, otherwise the people in the western region can completely defend themselves according to the Beishan system, and then wait and see, if this is the case, then Dazhong really does not know how many years it will take to conquer the western region and complete reunification.

Moreover, with Wu Jue's understanding of the people in the western region, if they are not defeated, they will never obey the rule of Dazhong.

Therefore, after discussing with Zhang Xian, Wang Yan and others, Wu Jue persuaded Zhang Xian, Wang Yan and others, not only suppressed the news of Miao Liu's mutiny, but also withheld the surrender edict jointly signed by Zhao Gou and Empress Dowager Pan to Zhang Jun under the persecution of Yan Qing and others, and made every effort to promote this battle with the Song Western Army, preparing to capture Shaanxi in one fell swoop, and then pacify the western region.

Because of the cooperation of Wu Jue and others, except for a few people such as Zhang Jun in the Western Song Army, no one else knew the accurate news of Miao Liu's mutiny, let alone that the Southern Song Dynasty had actually perished.

And because Zhang Jun and Wu Jue both wanted to hurry up the decisive battle, lest the news of the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty be covered, and then ruin the decisive battle, which made this decisive battle come faster than many people imagined, and even in the eyes of many people, this decisive battle came a little too hastily.

And yet—

No matter what these people think, this conference battle has arrived.

In order to be able to fight, in order to win the victory of this general battle, Wu Jue even gave a death order to let the front line deliberately lose a few battles, and then took the opportunity to retreat, allowing the Song Western Army to capture Yan'an Mansion and the Security Army in northern Shaanxi - in this way, it not only increased Zhang Jun's confidence in the decisive battle, but also made the decisive battle place become a flat Fuping.

Soon after, the Chinese army launched a position in the area of Fuping with Zhang Xian and Wang Yan leading 80,000 troops and 100,000 troops to help each other......

Let's talk about Zhang Jun and Song Xijun again.

Zhang Jun wants to fight a decisive battle with the Chinese army, in fact, not only because the situation is compelling, but also because he has a certain amount of confidence.

After Zhang Jun used thunderous means to deal with Quduan and purge the high-level of the Jingyuan Army, he successfully seized the command of the Jingyuan Army, which was the strongest in the Western Song Army, and then used all means to integrate the remaining four Western Song Army, so that Yongxing Road, Huanqing Road, Xihe Road, and Qinfeng Road Marshals all led their elite men and horses to leave their respective stations and gather in the Fuping area.

Zhang Jun gathered five soldiers to form a huge corps of 200,000 people (70,000 cavalry alone), plus sufficient logistics and materials, and transportation was also fully guaranteed.

This gave Zhang Jun the confidence to fight and to defeat the Chinese army in one fell swoop.

Soon, Zhang Jun appointed Liu Xi, the commander of Xihe Road, as the commander of the capital, and ordered a battle with the Chinese army at Fuping......
