The forty-seventh time to descend the medicine master Zong Wang, take Yanjing

However, it was said that Jin Taizong Wu begged to buy according to Zongwang's performance, so he took Gemu as the capital, Liu Yanzong as the commander of the Han army, and Zongwang supervised the war between the two armies of Gemu and Liu Yanzong. The troops were divided into two routes and launched a full-scale attack on Yanjing.

At this time, among the generals who defended Yanjing in the Northern Song Dynasty, they were already separated from Germany, and it was difficult to reach an agreement. The main force relied on by the Northern Song Dynasty monarchs to defend Yanjing was Guo Yaoshi and the victorious army under his command. However, most of the soldiers of the victorious army lived in Liaodong. They are nostalgic for their homeland and do not want to stay in Yanjing. In addition, the killing of Zhang Jue's Song also caused a thick shadow on their hearts. From Guo Yaoshi, the commander of the Changsheng Army, to every soldier of the Changsheng Army, they are also sad because of the death of the rabbit and the fox. The feeling of being hurt fell into extreme uneasiness.

It turned out that Song Huizong appointed Wang Anzhong as the prefect of Yanshan Mansion, and Zhan Du and Guo Yaoshi were the same knowledge. This arrangement led to a power struggle between Zhan Du and Guo Yaoshi, and caused a crisis within the regime, which was located in a key border town. Guo Yaoshi thought that he had the gift of the festival and wanted to live above Zhan Du, but Zhan Du thought that the order of the imperial pen book had a front and a back, and he was unwilling to live under Guo Yaoshi, and the two were unable to compete for the upper and lower levels. In addition, the generals of the Changsheng army acted wantonly, but Guo Yaoshi secretly connived.

Zhan Du was difficult to control, so he told the court. Song Huizong was worried that the two would be evil, so he ordered Zhan Du and Cai Jing of Hejian to exchange with each other. After Cai Jing arrived at Yanshan Mansion, he treated Guo Yaoshi with frankness. Pharmacist Guo has always respected Cai Jing, and his domineering spirit has to be restrained. However, Wang Anzhong, as the head of a government, is a fool. And the imperial court also bent his intentions because of Guo Yaoshi's merit in pacifying King Xi's return to Baobao. Whatever is invited, do not follow it.

Later, Wang Anzhong was recalled to Beijing, and Cai Jing served as the prefect. At this time, Guo Yaoshi was even more careless, and secretly sent his subordinates to trade in other places with good weapons and fine armor, thus obtaining a lot of money. Pharmacist Guo sent people to take money to buy KitKatat things in various places, and went to the palace inside and outside, and the court to make points. Those powerful eunuchs, all who have benefited from Guo Yaoshi, will praise them. So, in the ears of Song Huizong, all he heard all day long was about the beautiful wind of Guo Yaoshi.

With this group of powerful eunuchs as his backers, Guo Yaoshi is even more unscrupulous and does whatever he wants. Along the way, recruiting troops and horses, the number of soldiers increased greatly, and it was claimed that there were 300,000. However, the upper and lower ranks of the army still do not change the old decorations of the Liao State. Some upright ministers were skeptical of his actions. Later, Pharmacist Guo went to worship Taiwei again, and he became more and more noble. Song Huizong recruited him into Beijing, but he did not come. At this point, Song Huizong finally became suspicious of Guo Yaoshi.

Yanjing was in danger of being made in heaven, and the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty spent a lot of effort and bought it back from the Jin people with a lot of money, becoming a major frontier town. Just when the Jin people were trying to enter Yan in a big way, Song Huizong only then paid attention to what Guo Yaoshi had done. He ordered Tong to travel to the side, but his real intention was to investigate the movements and whereabouts of Pharmacist Guo. If there is any intention of rebellion, take it hostage and take it to Jingshi, and then deal with it.

Tong Guan arrived in Yanjing, and Guo Yaoshi ran far away to Yizhou to greet him, and then worshiped him. Tong Guan saw it, couldn't dodge, and said: "The general is also a captain today, and he is equal to Tong Guan. But I want to come here as a big gift, what the hell is this for! ”

When Guo Yaoshi heard this, he still bowed to the ground and said, "Master Taishi, it is really my father." Today, I, Pharmacist Guo, are here to worship not for anything else, but to bow down to my father, how can there be anything else? Tong Guan reached this point, and he had nothing to say, and he felt relieved.

Subsequently, Pharmacist Guo invited Tong Guan to inspect the Changsheng Army. They came to a wilderness, but they saw that the plain river was thousands of miles away, boundless, and there was no sign of anyone when they looked around. Suddenly, I saw Guo Yaoshi rolling the saddle and dismounting, and waved the flag in front of Tong Guan. In the blink of an eye, the sun shines on all sides, and it is unpredictable. Tong Guan and his entourage saw this, and they all hid their faces.

After returning to the capital city of Bianliang from Yanjing, Tong Guan immediately came to see Song Huizong, told him what he had seen and heard along the way, and said: "Guo Yaoshi is really a good general today, and he will be able to defeat the enemy." Using him to guard Yanshan is really solid. When Song Huizong heard this, he was skeptical.

Cai You also praised him next to him, saying: "Before the past, the envoy of the Jin Kingdom returned from the festival of He Tianning, and sent the envoy to Yanjing to accompany him, and saw Guo Yaoshi's soldiers, all wearing gold helmets and silver armor, with excellent weapons and extremely majestic. The envoy of the Kingdom of Jin met him in the middle of the road, and he avoided it with his horse, and his face was afraid. The soldiers of Yanshan are even worse, and they use their spears to expose their sheep, but they dare not fight. The far-reaching earthquake of Guo Yaoshi's prestige can be seen from this. Please rest assured that Your Majesty is loyal and commendable, and it is really trustworthy. If there is Guo Yaoshi, there is Yanshan Mansion. If the Jin people want to surpass Yanshan Mansion, it is really more difficult than ascending to the sky. ”

Song Huizong saw that Cai You was the same, so he believed it. So he dispelled a little doubt cleanly, and pinned all his hopes on Guo Yaoshi and his victorious army. And along the way from Yanjing Mansion to Bianliang, the capital, there is no more troops to fortify. Since then, people in Yanshan Mansion have repeatedly told Guo Yaoshi about the change, or he and the book of the Jin Kingdom, but they have ignored it.

Zhan Du, who had worked with Pharmacist Guo at the beginning, knew everything about Pharmacist Guo's scheming. He said again: "Pharmacist Guo is not always looking at things, he is interested in being different, he is a bee-eyed bird's beak, and he is pampered. The rebellion has sprouted, and the ferocity is getting worse. Today, I heard that I was on good terms with the Jin people, carrying the imperial court, and the disaster was not far away, so prepare as soon as possible. Until this time, Song Huizong also felt the extreme seriousness of the problem because of various signs that the Jin people were very likely to cross the alliance and go south, so he issued an edict to investigate and implement the matter of Guo Yaoshi's secret friendship with the Jin people. However, this is the fifteenth day of the first month, and it is already too late.

It turned out that the documents exchanged between the Song Dynasty and the Liao people were handed over to each other at the critical border between the two countries, which was called Guanbao at that time. After the Jin people destroyed Liao, they occupied Pingzhou again. The Song people also built a state city called Cheongju in Yutian County, which corresponded to the border. As a result, between Pingzhou and Yuzhou, it became a road for the envoys of the Jin and Song dynasties.

On this day, He Yunzhong, the envoy of the Song State, and Wuhan Ying, the deputy envoy, arrived in Qingzhou. When Zong Wangzhi heard this, he sent someone to invite the two to cross the border to watch the game. At that time, He Yunzhong and Wuhan Ying had already expected that the Jin people might invade the south beyond the alliance, and they wanted to push it back, but they were afraid that they would take advantage of the trouble. When I arrived at the border, I learned that the Jin people had already sent troops to the south on this day. He Yunzhong was chained, and Wuhan Yingtian was cunning and witty, and he was quite liked by the Jin people, and often kept Zong Wang's side. Zong Wang once said to people: "This is the first person to descend from the Southern Dynasty." ”

When the envoy of the Jin State returned, the Song Dynasty sent Fu Cha, a member of the ministry, as an envoy to receive He Zhengdan. And with Jiang Ao as the deputy envoy, he sent an envoy to the Jin State. When he reached the border, when the Jin soldiers of Zongwang were invading on a large scale, he tied up the Song envoy into the account. Zong Wang asked the Song envoy to surrender, and Jiang Ao and others were taken by the Jin people's soldiers, and they all bowed to the ground, bowed their heads to their ears, and were commensurate with their ministers. Only Fu Cha was unyielding and stood with his head up. When the Jin man saw it, he put a knife on Fu Cha's neck, and Fu Cha's face did not change, as if there was no one around. Zong Wang shouted; "I thought the southern dynasty of the Son of Heaven was immoral, so I came to crusade." Fu Cha reprimanded: "This is your Jin people's treachery and want to defeat the alliance, so you use this to raise an army." Today's events are only death, but my knees cannot bend for the captive. Zong Wang was furious when he heard this, and he drank the order and killed him.

The place where Fu Cha died was Hancheng Town, Yutian County, Jizhou, on December 27. After Fu Cha's death, the Wuhan British soldiers wrapped their bodies in sand and returned with the post of Huiyou Pavilion to be shaved, and after the invasion of the Jin soldiers, Fu Cha was the first unyielding envoy of the Song Dynasty to die.

However, it is said that Guo Yaoshi was fortified in the land of Yanjing, and the northeast was guarded by strict soldiers, but the defense in the west was lax. This is because the northeast is the way for the Jin people to come from, and they have to be guarded against. Yanshan is bounded by Hancheng to the east, while Fujiakou is bounded to the northeast. Hancheng and Fujiakou are more than 400 miles away from Yanjingjing, and the detectives chose to arrive to report the news of the invasion of the Jin soldiers to the Yanshan guards.

When Cai Jing heard this, he was shocked and urgently summoned Guo Yaoshi to discuss the strategy of resisting the enemy. Pharmacist Guo said: "Jin Bing came from afar, what are you afraid of. When they come to Yanjing City, I will wipe them out. When Cai Jing heard this, he felt a little relieved, so he rewarded the three armies with gold silk, and ordered Guo Yaoshi and his generals Liu Xianren and Zhang Linghui to lead 45,000 victorious troops, intending to fight a decisive battle with the Jin soldiers. As for the west, I thought that there was a natural danger and a Yongguan Pass, it was really a one-person pass, and it was a hundred miles away from Yanjing, so there was no heavy guard, just a retreat.

Zong Wang led his army from Pingzhou and entered Yanjing. Along the way, he did not encounter much resistance, and took advantage of the situation to capture Jizhou, and on the other hand, the army led by Pu Yuan defeated the Song army at Gubeikou, and broke through Danzhou, entered Sanhe, and met the victorious army led by Guo Yaoshi. The victorious army is distinct, and the troops are purged. When Jin Bing saw it, they all had a bright color.

The next day, the two armies marched out at a distance from the White River. Zong Wang saw that all the armies had the intention of cowardly the enemy, so he stood facing the east, looked at the sun and worshipped, and ordered the left army to fight first. Guo Yaoshi also urged the army to greet him, and the two armies fought fiercely for more than 30 miles, and the corpses were really piled up like a mountain, and the blood flowed like a river. Seeing that the Jin soldiers were about to be defeated, Zong Wang Wang urgently ordered Wang Bolong, the commander of the right army, to lead his troops to attack Guo Yaoshi's right army.

Wang Bolong received the order, and rushed a thousand people who dared to die, rushed into the right army of the victorious army, fought desperately, and did not avoid the front. The rest of the generals of the right army followed, and its momentum was like an overwhelming sea, which was difficult to stop. The main general of the right army of the Changsheng army was Zhang Linghui, when he saw the chaos of the Song army, he was afraid of losing, so he personally led more than ten personal soldiers to supervise the battle.

At this time, Wang Bo came to Zhang Linghui's horse with a gun. When Zhang Linghui saw it, he was shocked in vain, and hurriedly waved his knife to meet him. The gun in Wang Bolun's hand was really elusive, stabbing at Zhang Linghui like raindrops, and the gun never left his heart. Zhang Linghui tried his best to parry for a while, but he knew that he couldn't resist, so he turned his horse and fled. When Song Youjun saw that the main general had left, he shouted and retreated together. Wang Bolong saw that the Song army had been defeated, so he moved his gun back and led his troops to meet it. Guo Yaoshi's left army and the Chinese army had no intention of fighting at this time, and they were defeated and retreated together. On the eighth day of December, Zong Wang commanded the Jin soldiers and marched under Yanjing City.

It turned out that at the beginning, Mu Han thought that the Jin soldiers would divide the east and west roads this time, and they would separate the south to invade the Song Dynasty, and as long as they could capture Yanjing, it would be considered a great success. Therefore, he sent a special part from the clouds, led by the Jurchen Wanhu Wendun Langjun, with the generals Puluhu, Saili, and the Liao general Yeluma King as the deputies, and took Juyong Pass in the east, which has echoed with Zongwang's army. This move of Mu Han is very powerful, he seems to have inserted a sharp knife in the back of Cai Jing, Guo Yaoshi and others, making it difficult to guard against the enemy.

According to the strategy granted by Sticky Han, Wen Dunlangjun thought that Juyong Pass was easy to defend and difficult to attack. Therefore, it did not attack from the front, but divided the troops into two routes, entering from Bauhinia Pass and Jinpo Pass to attack Yizhou. After that, the cavalry captured Fengshan, and marched along the difficult and uninhabited imperial concubine. Along the way, they were not resisted by the Song soldiers, and they arrived at Changping County west of Yanjing very smoothly. This cavalry occupies a choke point, and it is already in the eyelids when it returns to Juyong Pass. Looking down on Yanjing City, it is already within easy reach.

There were originally a few soldiers guarding the Song people, but now they couldn't help but be taken aback when they learned that the Jin soldiers had appeared behind them. So there was no intention of defending, abandoning the pass and fleeing, and Wen Dunlang's soldiers occupied the dangerous Juyong Pass without blood. If Guo Yaoshi had not been defeated at Baihe and had fought against Zongwang's army, the cavalry of Wen Dun Langjun sent by Mu Han would have taken advantage of the weakness to capture Yanjing.

After Zhang Linghui was defeated, he first fled back to Yanjing City to meet Emperor Shi. The two of them discussed it secretly, and they had the intention of surrendering. After Guo Yaoshi defeated Baihe, he returned home and closed his door. In fact, he was also making a small calculation in his heart to abandon Song and reduce gold. Cai Jing saw the Jin soldiers approaching the city, and he was lonely and unable to do anything. After thinking about it again and again, he led the envoy and the servants to meet Pharmacist Guo to discuss the plan to defend the death. At first, Pharmacist Guo did not receive him, and it was not until it was time for breakfast that he sent someone to invite Cai Jing to discuss the matter.

When Cai Jing and his entourage arrived at Guo Yaoshi's mansion, Guo Yaoshi welcomed him to the secret room and said to Cai Jing: "The golden soldiers are like wolves and tigers, and their momentum is unstoppable. Yanjing is like a lonely city, and it is really difficult to defend. In my opinion, it is better to open the door to welcome the surrender, so as to protect the lives of the pillar city from suffering. When Chajing heard this, he was shocked and said loudly: "I swear to serve the country to the death, and I have no two hearts." Open the door to meet the enemy, what are these words! Then he drew his saber from his body, and he was about to kill himself. When Guo Yaoshi saw this, he hurriedly hugged him and ordered the servants to take the saber from his hand. Cai Jing couldn't move, tears fell like rain, and sighed: "I can't imagine that I have fallen to this point today, and I can't even beg for death!" ”

Pharmacist Guo ordered his subordinates to expel the transfer envoy and others, and said to them, "You are no longer needed here. The rest of the messengers were locked in the house. When Zong Wang came to the suburbs, Guo Yaoshi led the generals of the department to open the door to greet them, and General Jin said to them: "The prince has an order, Nanguan will not be killed, so that you all surrender!" Cai Jing said: "Now that he has been executed, what else is there to say whether he will surrender or not!" ”

A few days later, Zongwang sent Xiao Zhinu, Wang Rui, and Zhang Yuangong to say to everyone: "The prince said, please tell the army, don't be afraid. The main reason for using troops in Yanjing this time was because of the Southern Dynasty and the Chongqing Alliance, so they had to do this. He also said to Cai Jing: "Master Cai is a virtuous minister of the Southern Dynasty and will be of great use." Cai Jing heard this, and said with a wry smile: "I, Cai Jing, was born as a poor scholar, and as a minister of the imperial court, I can't hold the place all the way, how can I use it!" ”

The next day, Zong Wang sent someone to discuss the ceremony of meeting each other, Cai Jing said: "The Southern Dynasty is a country of brothers, and I don't dare to refuse, but I can't meet the prince." Guo Yaoshi said: "It is not permissible for Master Cai and the envoy to worship in the hall, and the rest of the ministers to worship in the hall." Cai Jing saw that the matter had come to this, so he had to say: "If the prince can negotiate peace, what does it matter if I, Cai Jing, bend my knees!" So, Zong Wang, Cai Jing and others met with the courtesy that Guo Yaoshi said. At this point, the land of Yanjing is owned by the Jin people.
