The fifty-first round of the southern expedition of Muhan took Longde

However, it is said that Li Bangyan was afraid of the prestige of the national envoy Wang Xiao, and also out of the intention of subservience and peace, blamed Li Gang for Yao Pingzhong's attack on the Jin camp at night, dismissed him, and abolished the pro-conquest envoy.

Li Bangyan's purpose in doing this was to please the Jin people, but it angered the common people in Bianliang City, and led to Chen Dong's writing, which immediately caused an uproar.

Chen Dongzi Shaoyang, a native of Danyang, Zhenjiang, entered Taixue with tribute, and was very prestigious. Cai Jing and Wang Hao are useless, and no one dares to speak, but Chen Dong is arbitrarily whipped and fearless. Whenever there was a banquet, the guests were afraid of being tired and often left, but Chen Dong didn't care.

At the beginning of Song Qinzong's succession, Chen Dong led his disciples to write a letter to discuss the evil of the six thieves. The book said: "Today's events, Cai Jing is in chaos, Liang Shicheng is in the back, Li Bangyan is resentful in the northwest, Zhu Xun is resentful in the southeast, Wang Hao and Tong Guan are resentful in Liao and Jin, creating a gap in the border. It is advisable to punish the six thieves and pass on the first four directions to thank the world. The implication is extremely indignant.

After that, Tong Guan followed Song Huizong to the east, and Chen Dong wrote to ask Tong Guan to be punished with canonical punishment, not to choose a faithful person and follow Song Huizong's side.

Li Bangyan dismissed Li Gang and cut off the three towns, which made the people in the capital feel indignant. Chen Dong was even more indignant, so he led all the beings to lie down under the Xuande Sect and write a book. The book said: "The ministers in the court, regardless of their lives, are the most important people in the world, Li Gang is also, and the so-called ministers of the society are also." His mediocrity is not talented, jealous of meritocracy, acting for personal schemes, and not caring for the national economy, Li Bangyan, Bai Shizhong, Zhang Bangchang, Zhao Ye, Wang Xiaodi, Cai Mao, and Li Yan are also the so-called thieves of the society. His Majesty plucked Li Gang among the secretaries, and he was in power for a day or two, and the Chinese and foreign ministers celebrated, knowing that His Majesty was capable of being virtuous. Don't use it in time, know that Your Majesty can go to evil. However, although Li Gang was appointed but not specialized, although he was reprimanded in the middle of the time, he did not go. With Li Bangyan as the prime minister, and the rest are all promoted, His Majesty is still not able to be virtuous, and he is still not suspicious of evil? Now I heard about ****** Gang's ministry, and the ministers were shocked, and I didn't know why. Li Gang started as a concubine and was in charge of major affairs. Kunihiko and others were jealous and hateful, fearing that they would succeed. The use of troops was unfavorable, so he had to make a gap and blame Li Gang. The husband wins and loses, and the soldiers are always in the situation, how can they suddenly use this to tilt the ministers who are in charge. Whispering about Bangyan and Shi Zhong tried their best to persuade His Majesty to be lucky, and the capital was in turmoil. If it weren't for Li Gang's suggestion for His Majesty, he would have taken advantage of the public opinion to relocate, and the temple would have been ruins, and the creatures would have been fished and fleshed. Lai is smart and not confused, so he specially obeys his request. And Bangyan and others are greedy and jealous, if Your Majesty listens to his words and reprimands Li Gang for not using it, the survival of the sect is unknown. Bangyan and others insisted on ceding the land, and covering Hebei was the foundation of the imperial court. Without three passes and four towns, it is to abandon Hebei, can the imperial court restore the capital? I don't know if after cutting Taiyuan, Zhongshan, and north of the river, Bangyan and others can make the Jin people not defeat the alliance? One advance and one retreat, it is very light in Li Gang and very heavy in the imperial court. Fortunately, His Majesty immediately returned to his previous life, restored Li Gang's old position, and paid the master to the outside world with the heart of China and the rest of the world. Your Majesty does not believe the words of the ministers, please advise the people of all countries, and they will all say that Li Gang can be used, and Bangyan and others can be reprimanded. It is advisable to give up, and it is necessary to be cautious. ”

When the book was playing, tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians met unexpectedly. At that time, Li Bangyan entered the court, passing through Xuande Gate, and everyone counted his crimes and scolded.

When Li Bangyan saw it, he didn't dare to stay, and he was avoided. Wu Min announced the order to retreat, where would everyone listen? At the moment, the sound of the drums and the noise of Laos was earth-shattering.

Song Qinzong saw that the situation was getting bigger and bigger, and he was afraid that there would be no incident, so he ordered Geng Nanzhong to go out and say to everyone: "I have received the holy decree and summoned Li Gang to enter the palace." When they heard this, they did not believe.

In the later period of Li Gang, the inner servant Zhu Gongzhi spread the anger of everyone, and at the same time killed dozens of internal servants. Knowing that the king of Kaifeng Mansion retreated, Yonglu's envoys did not obey. Song Qinzong instructed Nie Chang, the head of the household, to persuade him with an edict, and everyone gradually retreated.

Song Qinzong saw that the public was indignant, so he issued an edict appointing Li Gang as the right man and concurrently serving as the defense envoy of the four walls of the capital. Even if the people in the capital said that they would like to see the planter, Song Qinzong's edict made the planter enter the city to meet everyone. The planter came by car, and everyone looked at it with a curtain and shouted: "The fruit is my father." Then he walked away with cheers.

The next day, Song Qinzong issued an edict to arrest the people and kill the people who were the leaders of the inner servants, and forbade Fu Que to write a book. Wang Shiyong wanted to punish Taixue for all his life in prison, and in the capital, everyone was frightened and panicked. At that time, he was beating Yang Shi as a sacrificial wine, and sent Nie Changjin to introduce the proclamation, and the people's hearts gradually stabilized.

After Li Gang was reinstated as the right man, the morale in Bianliang City began to cheer up again. A few days ago, under the pretext of the night attack of the Song soldiers, the Jin people once again besieged the capital and invaded Xianfengmen. Cai Mao ordered the soldiers: "The Jin people are close to the city, and they must not use arrows and stones." When the strong man heard this, he was indignant. After Li Gang was reinstated, he ordered: "Those who can kill the enemy will be rewarded." When the strong soldiers heard this, they all jumped up, just seeking to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions.

At the same time, Yuwen Xuzhong once again sent an envoy to Jinying, taking King Jing as a hostage. Zong Wang also tricked the Kang kings, Zhao Gou and Zhang Bangchang, to return with them, and insisted on claiming the land of the three towns. When Yuwen Xuzhong arrived at Jinying for the second time and met Zong Wang, Zong Wang still had a tough tone, and he had to go to the land of three towns.

Yuwen heard it in the void, and did not say anything at the moment. When Zong saw it, he changed color. Yuwen Xuzhong said: "Emperor Taizong's palace is in Taiyuan, and the ancestral tomb of the emperor is in Baozhou. ”

When the chiefs heard this, they all looked at Zong Wang, and Zong Wang said: "The privy council is not empty, and I am not empty. ”

As a result, there was such an ambiguity in this matter, and he did not agree to cut the three towns and gold. In Zongwang's view, he had already received the promise of the envoy Yuwen Xuzhong to cede the three towns.

It turns out that the "slightly empty" mentioned by the Jin people is also the meaning of "supporting the empty" mentioned by the Han people. This is a colloquial term that refers to an idol offered in ancient funeraries or temples, because it only has a shell and an empty middle, so it is called. In addition, this proverb also has a false and unsettled connotation. Zong Wang made a pun here, which seemed acceptable to both sides under this specific condition and atmosphere, but it also left an excuse for himself to lead his troops south for the second time and besiege Bianliang again.

At that time, Zong Wang's soldiers had been besieging Bianjing for forty or fifty days, and the city was difficult to break, and the army of King Qin of the Song Dynasty was also constantly driving to Bianjing, and the difference in the number of troops was getting bigger and bigger.

The people Zong Wang came into contact with were all ministers who insisted on betraying the country and seeking peace, and most of their bones were as soft as tofu. Zong Wang and his subordinates often talked about them as jokes after dinner, saying that Song Huizong had no eyes, and the ministers he chose were all wine bags and rice bags, all of which were wastes with no personality and no personality.

However, Wang Wei saw another magnificent scene in Bianjing City, that is, tens of thousands of people's books. The scene of the crowd's indignation, the kind of whipping of the traitorous ministers and the same enemy, made Wang Wei, who was temperamental by nature, also shocked.

When Wang Xiao returned to Jinying and told Zong Wang and his generals what they had seen, everyone was shocked, and a huge pressure began to feel in their hearts.

Zong Wang said to Pharmacist Guo in private: "According to my direct judgment, it seems that the situation is undergoing subtle changes, and the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable to the Jin Army. ”

Pharmacist Guo said, "Yes, Prince, your judgment is completely correct. This time, we were able to smoothly carry out a thousand-mile attack and successfully reach the city of Bianjing, which was unexpected, and it should be a big victory. If the Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers were to be able to conclude an alliance under the city, the current conditions seem to be not very ripe. It is also a good strategy to accept it when it is good and retreat when the time comes. ”

Zong Wang said: "Going deep alone, this is a taboo for soldiers. This time, I hung the army to the city of Bianliang in the Northern Song Dynasty and drank horses on the bank of the Bianshui River, which was also a taboo for soldiers. However, it is only safe and sound at present, which also shows the strength of our Jin State Iron Cavalry, and it is enough to reveal the stupidity and incompetence of the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty. Now that I have withdrawn my troops and returned, I have nothing to regret in my heart. People should be content, and I should be content this time. If it is possible to come to Bianjing again in the future, I will not go back alone like today, I want the emperor and ministers of the Song Dynasty to accompany me back, hahaha! After listening to Zong Wang's words, Guo Yaoshi knew that he had the intention of withdrawing his troops.

The day after Yuwen Xuzhong's envoy to Jinying, Zong Wang was no longer impatient to wait for the amount of gold and silver coins to be sufficient, so he sent Han Guangyi and others to resign to the Song Dynasty's monarchs. This surprised the Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers, but it seemed to be their expectation.

The seed master asked to take advantage of the time when the Jin people withdrew their troops out of the Bianhe River and attacked it, but Song Qinzong did not allow it. Li Bangyan opened the way for the retreat of the Jin soldiers, and set up many banners in Hedong and Hebei, with a big book on the flag: "Those who send troops without permission will be in accordance with military law." ”

When Jin Bing saw it, he was overjoyed. When the Song people saw it, they all gritted their teeth. When the planter heard this, he looked up to the sky and sighed: "If the Jin people go here, they will be a disaster for the country in the future." ”

In the imperial history, Cheng Lu Haowen also said to Song Qinzong: "The Jin people have been proud this time, and they have a heart of contempt for our country. In autumn and winter, it will inevitably come to the country. Prepare for the enemy, and proceed as soon as possible. Song Qinzong took it as a wind in his ears and couldn't listen to it.

After Zong Wang led his army to leave Bianjing, he plundered all the way. The land that has passed through is all broken and withered. Led to the bank of the Yellow River, according to the original agreement, at this point the king of Su should be released. Guo Yaoshi said: "The gold and silver claimed have not been sent in full, and the three towns that have been cut are still in the hands of the Song people. If King Su is put back, there will be nothing in our hands to blackmail the Song people. Zong Wang listened and said, "If it weren't for the general's reminder, it would have almost broken the big thing." "Dao kidnapped King Su and crossed the river to the north.

After the Jin people withdrew their troops, the capital Bianliang began to lift the strictness, and everything seemed to return to its former calm.

However, among the ministers, there are still people who are worried about the country and the people, and are worried about the rise and fall of the country.

Yang Shishang said: "Heshuo is an important place for the imperial court, and the three towns are the important vassals of Heshuo. From Zhou Shizong to my Taizu and Taizong, I won it after a hundred battles. Once abandoned to the Jin people, the iron cavalry will drive through my heart, and I will be able to reach the capital in a few days. Now I heard that the people of the three towns refused to die, and the three towns refused to go forward, and I followed with heavy troops, which can still be done. For example, the master Dao and Liu Guangshi are all famous generals for a while, and they have not been used at the beginning, please call them and ask for strategies. ”

After Song Qinzong looked at the table, he was quite enlightened and ordered the teacher. However, the ministers on the left and right were silent and tried their best to obstruct it.

When Yang Shi heard this, he wrote again: "Wenjin people garrisoned between magnetism and phase, and attacked the Daimyo's mansion, looted and plundered, and there was no extreme. The oath is not dry, and the back is not spinning. Though I want to keep the peace, I can't get it. The Jin people are thousands of miles away and invade other people's national capitals, which is also a dangerous road. When he saw that King Qin's army was gathered on all sides, he returned in terror, not because he had any good intentions and did not attack the city. Didn't the imperial court cut off the land of the three towns with it, and in fact helped the enemy and attacked itself? I heard that King Su returned with him at the beginning of the appointment and the river, and the Jin people took him away, which was the great one who defeated the alliance. The ministers thought that the court should ask the king of Su and blame him for the defeat of the alliance, and he must be the king of Su. ”

These two remarks by Yang Shi also represented a positive tendency among the ministers of the Northern Song Dynasty at that time to safeguard national interests and persist in resisting the enemy.

At that time, Yao Gu, Chongshi Dao and Fuzhou Shuai Zheyan and others led more troops to Qin Wang, totaling more than 100,000 people, and arrived at the foot of Bianjing City, while the Jin soldiers led by Zong Wangsuo had retreated.

Li Gang asked Yao Gu and others to lead his troops to chase after him, and told them that if possible, he would take the opportunity to attack him. However, the three provinces ordered them to escort the Jin soldiers out of the country, and not to act rashly. The minister's decree is contradictory, so it is difficult to succeed. The generals were ordered to chase the Jin soldiers between Xing and Zhao, only more than 20 miles apart. The commander ordered not to chase after him, and the soldiers disintegrated when they heard it.

At that time, Wu Min was the prime minister, and the people of the time ridiculed him with the rumor of ten no matter, thinking that "no matter Taiyuan but Taixue, no matter the autumn but the "Spring and Autumn", no matter the artillery but the Anshi, no matter the king of Su but the king of Shu, no matter the Yanshan but the Nie Mountain, no matter the Tokyo but the Cai Jing, no matter the Hebei boundary but the people are exempted, no matter the Hedong but the Chen Dong." Regardless of the second prince, he is in charge of the prince. "The second prince is Zong Wang, the coach of Jinguo East Road. The spicy current rumors hit the nail on the head, which really hit the nail on the head.

However, it is said that the Taiyuan Song army, under the command of Zhang Xiaoxiang, the retainer and Wang Yu, the deputy governor of the capital, and others, relied on the conditions of the high wall and the favorable terrain to work together to hold the city.

And they planted staghorn trees and iron quinoa clusters all around the city, which were miles thick. There is only one path left in the middle, which only allows one person to pass. During the day, they patrol back and forth, and at night, they order soldiers to carry torches and shuttle between the paths. Looking from above, it looks like a fire dragon galloping. Sticky Han also built a long siege and besieged it, called the "lock city law". He also built a new city under the city and lived in it, calling it "Marshal's Mansion".

The two armies were held under the city of Taiyuan, and the Jin army was naturally difficult to conquer for a while, and the Song army was also difficult to relieve the siege of Taiyuan for a while.

At that time, the reinforcements of the Song Dynasty came from the direction of Fenzhou one way and the other from the direction of Luzhou. Sticky Han divided his troops into three ways, led the army with Yinshu, and continued to besiege Taiyuan. With Lou Room leading the army as a group, he blocked the Song soldiers who came to the rescue from the direction of Fenzhou, and he personally led the troops as a group, all the way south, out of Luzhou, in solidarity with the East Route Army led by Zong Wang. Because he had not received news from Yu Wang's department for a long time, he wanted to create a flanking attack and put psychological pressure on the Song people.

The Song generals Fan Kui, Shi Milling, Gao Feng and others led troops to aid Taiyuan, and divided the suburbs into direct threats to the Jin soldiers besieging Taiyuan. The silver technique can be combined with Xi Lost, Polu, Wansu and others, defeating them and killing many people. Then he sent Suoli, Yi Room, Ah Hula, Ba Lisu and other generals to lead their troops to encircle and annihilate the Song soldiers stationed between Taigu and Qi County, and took the opportunity to seize the second county.

Liu Guangshi and Zhe Keqiu, the guards of the Song River, led troops to reinforce and set up a fence in Wenshui West Mountain, and Lou sent Yelu Huaiyi to block it. Yelu Huaiyi is the son of the Liao clan, and his real name is Xiao Die.

At that time, the Jin soldiers led by Sticky Han had already captured Xijing, and Emperor Tianzuo planned to defect to Western Xia when he was desperate.

Huaiyi didn't listen to his advice, and stole the stable horse of the Liao lord to join the sticky Han, so he led the mou and joined the army, and made many military exploits. During the siege of Taiyuan, he led his troops to capture Xugou Town, Qingyuan County, that is, he and the generals were deployed in the Fenhe River.

Yelu Huaiyi secretly sent several people to infiltrate the Song army camp and capture two prisoners. After interrogation, the Song soldiers' defense situation and the key places where they lived were obtained. So he avoided his dangerous narrowness and attacked his weak points. Surprise and part ways. In one fell swoop, the Song army was defeated, and Liu Guangshi and others were defeated and retreated. Then the Song general Huang Di led 300,000 people to come to the aid and settled in Wenshui West Mountain.

Lou Room sent Geng Shouzhong to meet the battle, and Geng Shouzhong killed Gu Yuan, the brave general of Huang Di's department, and took advantage of the situation to fight. Huang Di's soldiers broke and ran, Geng Shouzhong urged his troops to pursue, and the corpses were all over the field along the way, the blood flowed like a river, and countless people were captured.
