…

The reason why Li Yan chose Liu Qi as the commander of the former army and led the Liangshan Army to attack first was because Liu Qi was the most stable among the generals under Li Yan.

This time the troops were sent to the Central Plains, not only to fight, but also to deal with many political matters that need to be properly handled, such as the relationship with the remnants of the Song Dynasty, the relationship with the locality, the relationship with the people, etc., if Yue Fei's stunned Qing or Han Shizhong's sometimes proud guy take the lead, it may be bad, only the steady Liu Qi reassures Li Yan the most.

The stakes are very high in this expedition - if Li Yan can't win the Central Plains this time, then Li Yan may not have a chance to win the Central Plains, and the Han people may not have a chance to change this humiliating history.

Just in case, Li Yan asked Zhao Ding and Sun Jing to follow Liu Qi all the way - let the two of them be in charge of politics and the other give advice to Liu Qi.

Later it turned out that Li Yan was too wise to do this.

On this expedition, things were far more than Li Yan had thought before he sent out the army.

In fact, not long after the Liangshan army landed on the Jiaozhou Peninsula, something happened - the dispatch of troops from Shuibo Liangshan was quickly known.

This is actually normal, tens of thousands of troops landed on the Jiaozhou Peninsula at the same time, and it is impossible not to leak any news.

Moreover, the people in Shandong have been living in dire straits for the past few years and have suffered a lot from human suffering, so Li Yan, who had saved them countless times, came back, how could they not run to tell each other?

Therefore, this news cannot be blocked at all.

But—

The first to learn that Shuibo Liangshan sent troops was not the Jin army, but the Generalissimo Mansion of Xiangzhou, which was commanded by Zhao Gou, not far from Shandong.

At the beginning, the Jin army was pressing, and Zhao Huan hurriedly gathered his ministers to discuss countermeasures.

The servant Shi Hu Tang Lao suggested: "I heard that King Kang sent an envoy to Cizhou and Xiangzhou, but he was restrained by the people and was not allowed to enter, which is the will of heaven. Please worship as the generalissimo on the spot, and let him lead the world's soldiers and horses into the defense of the Beijing Division. ”

He Li believes that there is no such precedent in this dynasty with big characters, so he feels a little embarrassed.

Hu Tang Lao struggled to say: "Today's society is in danger, do you still regret the word 'big'? ”

He Li then agreed, and immediately drafted the edict.

After Zhao Huan read it, he made the edict into wax pills and immediately recruited warriors to go out of the city to deliver the letter.

Martial arts students Qin Zai, Zhang Jiucheng, Feng Chaoying, Zhen Bangjie and other four people are willing to go to Xiangzhou with the wax edict.

Later, Qin Zai was the first to arrive in Xiangzhou and gave Zhao Huan's imperial pen to Zhao Gou.

This letter reads:

Zhiqing rebelled against King Qin, and he could remove the generalissimo of Qing's soldiers and horses, Marshal Chen Hengbo (Chen Yu), Wang Boyan, and Deputy Marshal Zongze. should be dismissed and acted from cheaply. The family is happy and worry-free, and the day before yesterday he was given 5,000 yuan.

A day or two later, seven more messengers arrived in Xiangzhou, all carrying wax bombs, all of which were identical.

At that time, Bianliang City had not yet been broken, and even the main force of the Jin Army had not yet reached Bianliang City.

Within two days, Zhao Gou received another handwritten letter from Zhao Huan, which was brought by a person named Liu Ding from Bianliang City.

Liu Ding was ordered by Zhao Huan to go out of the city urgently before the city was broken.

Liu Ding told Zhao Gou that the situation in Bianliang was very critical, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to hold it.

Zhao Gou urgently convened a meeting with Wang Boyan, Geng Nanzhong, and other people of insight to study and discuss countermeasures.

(Geng Nanzhong and Nie Chang were ordered to send envoys to cut the land, the former turned to Zhao Gou halfway, wanting Zhao Gou to raise troops to rescue Bianliang City, and the latter was loyal to his duty and was mistakenly killed by the soldiers commanded by Zhao Ziqing under the jurisdiction of Jiangzhou soldiers and horses.) ）

The crowd quarreled for several days, and there was no fixed solution.

After a few more days, Cao Fu went out of the city with the secret edict, and finally sent the secret edict to Zhao Gou.

The secret edict sent by Cao Fu probably read, "The Jin soldiers have occupied the outer city of Bianliang, the emperor has made peace with them, and the Jin people have promised not to enter the city." ”

At this time, Zhao Gou still wanted to rescue Bianliang, where there was his mother Wei Xianfei, who had worked hard to raise him, his beloved princess Xing Bingyi, and his five daughters.

But at this time, Zhao Gou couldn't influence his own thoughts.

Regarding Zhao Gou's idea of rushing to rescue Bianliang City, many people disagreed.

Some people even persuaded Zhao Gou not to leave Xiangzhou, saying: "Wang Boyan guards Xiangzhou very strictly, and it is very safe to live in Xiangzhou for the time being. ”

Zhao Gou was very angry when he heard this, and scolded the man severely, and at the same time convened the envoys and generals many times to hold a meeting in Shi'en Hall to discuss the route to aid Bianliang City.

Qin Zai, Liu Ding and other envoys believed that King Qin's army could go straight south, pass through Junzhou and Huazhou, and go straight to Bianliang City for rescue.

But all the generals thought it was impossible, and found all kinds of reasons to argue against Qin Zai, Liu Ding and others.

To put it bluntly, the generals didn't want to rescue Tokyo at all - they knew that hundreds of thousands of Jin troops were gathered outside Bianliang City, so rescuing Bianliang City was tantamount to throwing themselves into a net, and once they got close, the whole army would be destroyed.

These people wanted to lead their troops north and return to the areas of Xingzhou (later Xingtai, Hebei) and Zhaozhou (later Yongnian, Hebei), so they proposed to cross the Yellow River first and go to the Daimyo's Mansion in Beijing.

It was also at this time that the Generalissimo's Office learned that Shuibo Liangshan had sent troops, and tens of thousands of Liangshan troops had landed on the Jiaozhou Peninsula.

This change completely disrupted the position of Zhao Gou and others.

Zhao Gou hurriedly summoned Wang Boyan, Geng Nanzhong and other people of insight to a meeting to study and discuss countermeasures.

Wang Boyan said: "The king of Liaodong rose in Shandong, originated in Hebei, this time unannounced, will come for the two places, we must not go to the Daimyo Mansion again, once we go, we will be killed by the Jin army and the Liangshan army." ”

Geng Nanzhong also said: "Vice Marshal Wang is right, and besides, Zhao Ye, the governor of the Northern Province, and Lianghe Xuanfu made Fan Ne support his troops to protect himself and fled to Nanjing, making the Daimyo's Mansion almost an empty city, even if we go there, it is impossible to gather many soldiers and horses, in my opinion, we might as well go south, there is the foundation of our Great Song Dynasty." ”

Yang Weizhong said: "Do you know that the king of Liaodong is not from the king of Qin?" ”

Yang Weizhong and Huang Qianshan came to Xiangzhou not long ago, and they brought more than 12,000 soldiers and horses from their division - among them, Zhang Huan of the Zhiguangxin Army was 2,500, Gao Gonghan of the Baoding Army was 2,500, Xin Yanzong of Zhijunzhou was 5,000, and Wang Che of the Ansu Army was 2,000, with Yang Weizhong as the capital.

The arrival of Yang Weizhong and Huang Qianshan made the generalissimo's army more and more vigorous, with a total of nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses.

Zhao Gou was very happy, so he comforted them kindly.

Huang Qianshan whispered to Yang Weizhong: "There is an answer in your words, the king of Liaodong is the king, not a vassal of His Majesty, the king of Liaodong and His Majesty communicate in an equal tone, how can it be the king of Qin, and the soldiers and horses of the king of Liaodong are unannounced, which shows that there is no intention to save our Great Song Dynasty, most of them are here to take advantage of the fire to rob." ”

Yang Weizhong and the more than 10,000 people they brought are Huang Qianshan's biggest political capital at present.

Therefore, Huang Qianshan patiently said to Yang Weizhong: "The king of Liaodong did a lot of good deeds in Shandong and Hebei, so many people in the two places did not forget his kindness, and many people even enshrined the portrait of the king of Liaodong at home. ”

After speaking, Huang Qianshan glanced at Zhao Gou.

Obviously, Huang Qianshan's words were said to Zhao Gou.

Wang Boyan, Geng Nanzhong, and Huang Qianshan, people of insight, actually saw that Li Yan must have bad intentions when he came this time, and they also knew how much impact Li Yan's arrival had on Shandong and Hebei, so they thought that they could not go north and should go south quickly.

Listening to Huang Qianshan's words, Zhao Gou's face sank like water - although when Li Yan became famous, Zhao Gou was still young, but how could Zhao Gou, who had great ambitions since he was a child, not know how powerful Li Yan, who was respected and feared by his father and brother, and regarded as a big disaster?

Only then did Yang Weizhong know the seriousness of Li Yan's arrival problem, and then said: "As several ministers said, then Hebei and Shandong can't stay any longer, but it can't be done to go south, our more than 20,000 people and horses, fighting against the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Jin people, is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg." ”

Wang Boyan thought for a while and said, "Why don't you go to Kaide Mansion to meet with the deputy marshal of the sect first, and then make a plan?" ”

The deputy marshal of Zong is Zong Ze.

Kaide Mansion was formerly known as Lanzhou, where Song Zhenzong and Liao Shengzong, the Empress Dowager of Liao, signed a peace agreement, that is, the "Lanyuan Alliance", which laid a hundred years of peace on the border between Song and Liao.

At this time, Deputy Marshal Zong Ze had gained a firm foothold in Kaide Mansion - at the beginning, when Zong Ze led his troops from the Daimyo's Mansion to Kaide Mansion, he fought thirteen bloody battles with the Jin army along the way, and won every battle, and finally temporarily repelled the Jin army and stood on this important land.

Yang Weizhong hesitated a little and said: "Deputy Marshal Kezong is bent on rescuing Jingshi, how can we do such a big thing?" ”

Wang Boyan smiled slightly and said, "Zong Ze is just a deputy marshal like this official, and there is a marshal on the two of us, and there is even a generalissimo." ”

When he said this, Wang Boyan nodded humbly at Zhao Gou.

Yang Weizhong reacted a little, so he also looked at Zhao Gou.

Zhao Gou pondered for a while and said, "Order, transfer to Kaide Mansion." ”
