In the fifty-sixth round, borrowing Liujia to drive the enemy into a lie

However, it is said that Zongwang avoided Huazhou and Junzhou, which were heavily fortified by the Song people, turned eastward, and drove directly to the Daimyo's Mansion by Wang Yudu of Enzhou. And by surprise to the enemy, with lightning speed, seized the Yellow River ferry Li Gudu, which was located in the territory of the Daimyofu, and quickly crossed the Yellow River from there.

Once you cross the dangerous Yellow River, you will see thousands of miles of wilderness in front of you, as far as the eye can see. The iron cavalry of the Jin Kingdom poured thousands of miles, as if entering a no-man's land. Galloping vertically and horizontally, invincible. It's really invincible, invincible. First take Linhe, Daimyo two counties, and then break the German Qing army, Kaide Mansion and other garrison fortresses. After that, there was no effective resistance from the Song army, not even a decent army of the Northern Song Dynasty. Drive in until the city of Bianjing.

At this point, in order to achieve the goal of peace negotiations, the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty were only afraid of angering the second marshal of the Jin State, so they carefully restrained themselves. did not hesitate to sacrifice the interests of the country and the people, and agreed to the humiliating conditions of the Jin people to cede land and pay money, but still could not stop the Jin Guotie from riding outside the river. When the drums of the golden people sounded under the city, and when the horns of the golden people spread in the air, they had to face the naked reality before them, but they were terrified.

Zongwang garrisoned the army in Liujia Temple, ordered the army to make siege equipment, and tried to attack the city. The Song army also intended to carry out a tentative counterattack against the whole army when the Jin people were not firmly established.

At the beginning of the 11th month of the leap year, the Song soldiers opened the city to fight, and Zongwang personally led the army to meet it. After a short battle, the Song army was defeated and returned to the city.

After that, for several days of night, the Song people took advantage of the cover of night to send troops out of the city from time to time, trying to burn the siege equipment made by the Jin people.

In the first raid, the Song soldiers were lucky and successful, and most of the siege equipment of the Jin people was burned to ashes. The Jin people used this heavy price as a lesson to strengthen their vigilance. Zongwang took turns patrolling with generals Chi Zhanhui, Xian Mao Ali, and Chasun Yasa to prevent the Song army from attacking at night.

That night, the Song army attacked the camp again. Chi Zhanhui led the soldiers of Ermouke to light candles all over the place and hit head-on. The Song people saw that the Jin soldiers were prepared, so they withdrew their troops and returned. Chi Zhanhui chased him to the city and killed many people. A few days later, the Song army came out again. Diagonal Ali and Chasun Yasa flanked from both sides and routed the Song soldiers.

After the Jin soldiers besieged the city for more than ten days, Song Taiwei He Li organized a large-scale counterattack. He mobilized tens of thousands of horsemen and rushed out of the sour jujube gate, trying to defeat the Jin people in one fell swoop to relieve the siege of Bianjing. Zong Wang's deployment outside the sour jujube gate was the Xiao general Wang Bolong and his subordinates. Wang Bolong attacked it with the soldiers of his headquarters, and won many of them. After several days of fighting, the Song people saw that it was difficult to break the enemy, so they withdrew their troops and returned. After that, the Song army was no longer able to take the initiative.

After capturing Huaizhou, he led a large army across the Yellow River from Mengjin. And Lou Mur, Xi Mur and others have already defeated the Song guards guarding Xijing Luoyang, forcing the Song generals in Xijing Luoyang to open the door and surrender.

After Muhan advanced to Luoyang, Xijing, the strength of the Western Route Army was readjusted. He ordered Lou to lead his guards to march west and capture Tongguan. And with heavy troops to strictly guard, blocking the Song soldiers in Guanxi, not allowing a single soldier to pass through. He also sent Sairi to attack south and seize Ruzhou.

At that time, Yinshu Ke was also transferred from Taiyuan to the army, and Mu Han sent him to lead his troops over Funiu Mountain and attack Dengzhou. In this way, the three Jin armies of Lou Mur, Sai Li, and Yinshu Ke formed an iron and copper wall running north-south on the southwest line, blocking the passage of the Song army from Tongguan, Wuguan, and Xiangyang directions. This is related to the Eastern Route Army's capture of Juzhou and Bozhou, and strategically completed the encirclement of Bianjing, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, causing it to become an isolated city and in a situation of isolation and helplessness.

Sure enough, Song Guanxi coach Fan Zhixu led his troops to the east and entered Shaanzhou. Hearing this, Lou Room led an army of 50,000 to defend Tongguan, and he was afraid to enter. And Qian Gai's soldiers went out of Tang, Deng, Shang, and Yu, and they also collapsed.

Shortly thereafter, Fan Zhixu mobilized another 800,000 troops, with the monk Zhao Zongyin as the mastermind, and led his troops to the east. Zhao Zongyin didn't know about soldiers, but he was so loud that he deceived Fan Zhixu's trust. Entered Qianqiu Town, met the soldiers of Lou Room, and was defeated in a battle. But this so-called high monk also fell ill because of it, and died after menstruation.

Sticky Han led the main force from Luoyang, Xijing, and advanced eastward. Most of the prefectures and counties along the way have been broken by the Jin soldiers, and there is no hindrance along the way. In one day and one night, he arrived at the foot of Bianjing City, met with Zongwang, and then garrisoned in Qingcheng.

At that time, there were two places in Bianjing City called Qingcheng, one was called North Qingcheng, located outside the Fengqiu Gate, and was the Song Dynasty Sacrifice Palace. One is called Nanqingcheng, located outside the Nanxun Gate, for the Song Dynasty sacrifice Tianzhai Palace. The place where Sticky Han is located is Nanqingcheng, and on the same day, Zong Wang came to meet Sticky Han.

Sticky Jun said: "The second prince is fast, and he has already taken the first step."

Zong Wang said: "The marshal took a detour, and the distance along the way was much farther, so it should be delayed for a few days, so why bother to divide which comes first."

Sticky Han asked, "The second prince came a few days ago, but I don't know how the guards in Bianjing City are?"

Zong Wang said: "When I first came, I experienced several fierce battles, but the Song people's desire to break the soldiers under the city was not realized. Now it's much quieter, and there's no more sound. ”

Sticky Han said: "In the face of such a situation, I don't know what the second prince has to say."

Zong Wang said: "The marshal led the troops here, and all the elite soldiers and strong generals of the Jin State gathered under Bianjing City. This time, we must break through Bianjing and give them a little color. ”

Sticky Han said: "What the second prince said is true, but to break the city, you must have a truth, and you must not make the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty work together and twist into a force, then it will be difficult to do." We are still the same old routine, while making peace with them, we are also forcing them with heavy troops. In this way, all our purposes can be achieved. ”

After the two agreed, they sent Liu Yan as an envoy to ask Song Qinzong to come forward to negotiate an alliance.

Since Tang Ke and Geng Nanzhong sent back the soldiers of King Qin in the southeast, no one from the Quartet came to Bianjing. The Jin soldiers drove down the city, and Song Qinzong seemed to have woken up, so he dismissed Tang Ke from the post of prime minister, and appointed He Li as the right servant of Shangshu and the servant of Zhongshu. Although He Li opposes the negotiation and land cession, he is just a vulgar talent who is difficult to achieve.

At that time, the soldiers and horses in the city were counted, and there were 70,000 guards. Then with 10,000 people as an army, a total of five armies, ordered Yao Youzong and Xin Yongzong to command, with 57,000 people to guard the four walls of Biancheng. At the same time, he sent an envoy out of the pass to recruit troops to reinforce the capital.

At that time, he only knew that King Kang did not go to see Jin Shuai Zongwang, and stayed north of the Yellow River for the time being. However, due to the blockage of the road, it is difficult to get through the message. He Li proposed to ask King Kang to be the generalissimo, and secretly drafted an edict to dedicate it.

Song Qinzong listened to his words, and made King Kang the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and appointed Chen Yu as the marshal of the soldiers and horses. Zong Ze and Wang Boyan were appointed as deputy marshals, and Zhang Shuye was appointed as the governor of Dengzhou. He also placed a commander in Sidao, with Zhang Shuye as the head of the southern province.

Uncle Zhang received the Codex of Song Qinzong at night and urged him to enter the capital. So he immediately mobilized troops and horses to take the Chinese army. With his son Zhang Bofen general the front army and Zhong Xiong general the rear army, a total of 30,000 horses, the next day on the road.

It turned out that Uncle Zhang's son Ji Zhong was the grandson of the lieutenant general Qi, who liked to talk about the army when he was young, and was later appointed as the grandson of Zhang Qi to join the army in Lanzhou.

Lanzhou was originally Jincheng County in the Han Dynasty, the most extreme edge of the land, and it was fortified by the Yellow River. Every winter, the Yellow River freezes over. At that time, in order to prevent the Qiang people from encroaching on the border, there were only strict guards, and those who did not disarm the armor lasted for many months.

Zhang Shuye said: "Such a method is not a long-term solution. If the enemy crosses the Yellow River by force and succeeds, then we will have to sit back and wait for death. ”

There is a mountain in its place, called Tiandu Mountain, which is a dangerous place, between the five roads. When the Qiang people enter the Kou, they must first gather here, and then agree on the direction of their troops. Whenever the Qiang people gather here, they are terrified when they hear it.

Zhang Shuye inspected the geographical environment characteristics of Tiandu Mountain and planned a strategy for attacking. Later, according to Uncle Zhang's plan at night, he captured Tiandu Mountain. And build a fortress in its place, set up troops to arm, named Xi'an Prefecture. Since then, there has been no trouble with the Qiang people around Lanzhou.

In the years that followed, Uncle Zhang had several military formations, and his outstanding military talent was fully displayed.

When Uncle Zhang marched into the capital at night to reinforce the capital, Sticky Han had already dispatched the generals Saili and Yinshuke to enter the realm of Ruzhou and Dengzhou respectively, and Yinshuke also killed the Song general Li Cao and others in an encounter. The Golden Soldier Ranger can be seen at any time.

Uncle Zhang led his troops to Wei's at night, met the Jin rangers, and then turned to battle. At the end of November, Uncle Zhang finally arrived at the foot of Bianjing City after a hard fight all the way. Song Qinzong boarded the Nanxun Gate and saw it, and was extremely pleased to see that the army was very neat.

When he saw it, Uncle Zhang thought that the golden soldiers were sharp. Please avoid Xiangyang for the time being, just like Tang Xuanzong avoided An Lushan, and then wait for the opportunity to go to Chang'an in order to recover. Song Qinzong listened, nodded yes, and then appointed him as a scholar of the Yankang Palace.

At the beginning of the leap month, Song Qinzong once again ascended to the top of the city. At this time, Uncle Zhang was in Yujin Garden at night, and his family was bright and his morale was very high. Uncle Zhang led the department at night and worshiped the dance city. When Song Qinzong saw this, he was even more pleased, so he ordered to lead his troops into the city.

Just when Zhang Shuye led his troops into the capital, Jin Shuai Sticky Han and Zong Wang sent troops to launch a fierce attack on Bianjing. For several days in a row, they attacked the two gates of Tongjin and Chaoyang. On the first day, Song Du commanded Wang Zongchu to be defeated and fled. The next day, Gao Shidan, the commander of the Song Dynasty, was killed in battle. On the third day, Uncle Zhang led the army into battle at night, fought fiercely for four days, and killed two Jin people and generals.

Song Qinzong was quite excited, and sent a messenger with a book of wax pills to inform the generals of the provinces, and the letter praised Zhang Shuye very much. However, unfortunately, there was never a second person to lead the troops to help.

A few days later, the Song general Fan Qiong led the army to battle, marching from the ice, who knew that the river ice broke and drowned more than 100 people in the water. When General Kim saw it, he beat the drum and shouted. Song's morale was greatly depressed because of the impact. Since the day of the siege of the city by the Jin people, the drums have been beating day and night, and their sound has shaken the heavens and the earth, and even the four walls of Biancheng seem to be trembling. When Jin Bing heard this drum, he became more and more excited, and called it a peace drum.

At that time, Sun Fu also held the position of Shangshu Youcheng and Tongzhi Privy Council.

At the beginning of Song Qinzong's accession to the throne, he was successively entrusted with the post of secretary of the ministry and the military department. Sun Fu once asked for the restoration of the ancestral law, Song Qinzong summoned him and asked, Sun Fu said: "The ancestral law benefits the people, Xifeng benefits the country, and worships and views the law to benefit the adulterous." At that time, it was a famous saying, and Sun Fu also had a good reputation because of it.

After the siege of the city by the Jin soldiers, Sun Fu personally served as a stone day and night, which can be regarded as diligent and hard-working. However, it is harmful and unhelpful to have more than enough heart and not enough wisdom. Qiu Jun has a poem of feelings, and there is a sentence in the poem "Guo Jing, Yang Shi, Liu Wuji, lying in the southeast and white clouds", Sun Fu read it, but thought it was a strange commodity to live in.

informed He Li, and then visited the three people. In the end, he finally visited Liu Wuji among the urban people, and Guo Jing among the Dragon Guards. I also heard rumors from everyone that Guo Jing could make the method of Liujia, capture Jin Shuai and Zong Wang, and sweep away the Jin soldiers.

The method is: use 7,777 people, called the six regular soldiers. Use a cat and a mouse, draw a circle on the ground, and open two corners for the way of life and death. The rat is killed by the cat in the dead road, and the cat is in the living road, and the rat is killed by the cat. If the rat enters the living tract and the cat enters the dead passage, it will be difficult for the cat to see the mouse.

Guo Jing performed his skills in front of the palace, and He Li and Sun Fu were convinced when they saw it. played Song Qinzong, and Song Qinzong also believed it. So he was appointed as an official, and he gave tens of thousands of gold silks, and authorized Guo Jing to recruit Liujia regular soldiers, and Guo Jing was able to dictate himself. As long as his life is in line with the six grades, regardless of his talent and skills, he will be recruited. Therefore, the recruits are all rogue and idle people in the market, and they will have enough in a few days. There are military generals who volunteer to be Guo Jing's partial generals, but Guo Jing insisted on refusing to agree, saying: "Although the martial arts are strong and his courage is brave, he will die in the first month of next year, and he is only afraid that he will be tired of my Liujia soldiers." ”

His words are arrogant, his actions are absurd, and that's it.

At this time, the Jin people attacked the city more and more urgently. Guo Jing talked and laughed freely and disagreed. He also said to people: "Don't look at his arrogance, in my eyes, he is just a pile of dung." When I choose a day to send troops, just using three hundred and six armor divine soldiers will be enough to bring peace to the world. At that time, he took advantage of the situation to pursue, and he would not collect his troops until Yinshan. ”

When Sun Fu and He Li heard this, they were even more convinced. Respect is abnormal, treat it with all his heart, and pin all his hopes on Guo Jing and the Liujia Divine Soldiers under his command.

People of insight were deeply worried, or someone who wrote to Sun Fu and said: "Since ancient times, I have never heard of a person who can succeed with a six-armor divine soldier. Taking 10,000 steps back, even if he believes in Guo Jing and the myths he said, he should be allowed to fight with some of the Liujia divine soldiers. If there is a matter of size, it is not too late to move a little. Now that everything is entrusted, once it makes a mistake, it will inevitably be a shame for the country. ”

When Sun Fu heard this, he was furious and said: "Guo Jing is really a genius in the world, the ancients said well: "The times create heroes", and Guo Jing is also such a hero born in response to the times. Among the golden generals, from the marshal to the soldiers, there is no one who does not know Guo Jing and his six armor soldiers. You are fortunate to have mentioned this to me today, and it will not be too much trouble to think about it. If you want other people to know, if you are guilty of frustration, how can you bear it! ”

Since then, there has been no one to speak up. Guo Jing also asked dozens of cars to be built, and asked what it was for, saying that he wanted to get out of the city threshold and make the chiefs of Han and Zongwang obscurity. He Li and Sun Fu were even more overjoyed when they heard this.

Because of the influence of Guo Jing and his Liujia divine soldiers, many false and grotesque things have come out one after another.

From time to time, Liu Xiaojie called his soldiers "Liuding Lux", "Tianque General", and "Beidou Divine Soldier". There is also a privy decree Wang Jian, who also claims to be able to create strange soldiers, and he is the commander, and He Li is the commander.

Soon, Wang Jian made a rebellion and was beheaded.

In addition, Hu Juezhi, the imperial historian, recommended Qin Yuan to mention the capital prison and train to protect the armor. Qin Yuan then dedicated the "Shilu" and "Big and Small Eight Arrays" that he had written. When the Jin soldiers attacked the city, Qin Yuan also volunteered to take 30,000 armor guards as his side, and asked to take advantage of the battle, and they were all agreed. In the end, Qin Yuan and his armor guards broke and scattered.
