Zhao Gou sits in Bianjing City, but the decision is thousands of miles, this is a real talented person. Then, Zhao Gou ordered Yue Fei and Zhang Jun to capture Zhongjing and march eastward to capture Liaoyang Mansion. When the holy decree arrived at Zhao Yougong, the Dading Mansion in Zhongjing had been captured, and the Song army lost 30,000 people.

The Jin soldiers lost more than 100,000 people, and the Dading Mansion in Zhongjing was heavily guarded, and Han Shizhong, Yue Fei and others sat together under the convening of Zhao Yougong to discuss the next attack. What Zhao Gou gave was only the core, and the specific details were discussed by themselves.

Everyone discussed and decided that Zhang Jun would lead 30,000 soldiers and horses to attack first, Liu Guangshi would lead 20,000 soldiers and horses to respond, and Han Shizhong and Yue Fei would each lead 30,000 soldiers and horses to ambush around Dading Mansion, solve all the soldiers and horses in Zhongjing, and cut off their food.

Zhongjing Dading Mansion lost its support, like a turtle in an urn, and there was a Song army pressing the border, which made the Zhongjing garrison very sad, and finally broke the kettle and the Song army decisive battle, the two armies fought together, the Jin soldiers continued to fall, and the Song army was no better.

It took a month for the Song army to attack Zhongjing Road, and after Zhao Gou's holy decree arrived, they were resting, and they were not in a hurry to attack continuously, not only the soldiers were physically exhausted, but even the generals could not bear it.

Han Shizhong and Liu Guangshi led an army of 100,000 to continue north, following the command of Zhao Gou, and then Yue Fei and Zhang Jun led a large army to attack Liaoyang Mansion, and Zhang Jun and Yue Fei each led 30,000 soldiers and horses to attack Shenzhou and Jinzhou respectively.

However, in this battle, Zhang Jun attacked Shenzhou and returned defeated, losing 20,000 troops, leaving only 10,000 to retreat, and he was also seriously wounded. As for Yue Fei's still overwhelming capture of Jinzhou, I heard that Zhang Jun's army was trapped by the Jin soldiers and it was difficult to get out.

Yue Fei led the army to rescue non-stop, if Yue Fei hadn't arrived in time, I was afraid that Zhang Jun's army would have been wiped out. When Yue Fei and Zhang Jun returned to the camp, Zhao Yougong said in a deep voice: "What the hell is going on? Why did he return with a big defeat and lose 20,000 soldiers and horses! ”

"Returning to the marshal, this matter has nothing to do with Marshal Zhang, everything is the crime of the last general!"

Zhao Yougong turned around and saw the person standing next to Zhang Jun, and said in surprise: "You are Li Shifu?" ”

"Do you remember the last general?" Li Shifu said in surprise.

"Naturally remember!" When Zhao Yougong saw Li Shifu for the first time, he remembered the person who fought with Gao Zhong at that time, and then he was appointed by Zhao Gou and asked him to go to the front line, and then there was no news, I didn't expect him to be a pioneer under Zhang Jun's account, "What the hell is going on with this matter?" ”

Li Shifu told him what happened, and it turned out that he really didn't complain about Zhang Jun, it was caused by Shao Hongyuan, a general under his command. This person is competitive, but narrow-minded, he followed Zhang Jun's side for a long time, and then Li Shifu came, Zhang Jun saw that he had some ability, and his status continued to improve, but Shao Hongyuan was very jealous.

This time it was originally carried out according to the consultation, but Shao Hongyuan was greedy and reckless, so that the identities of Zhang Jun and others were exposed, and the whole army was almost wiped out, which made Zhao Yougong very angry, and only after questioning did he know that Shao Hongyuan had died on the battlefield, and they fought desperately to break out of the encirclement, which also disturbed the generals of Liaoyang Mansion in Tokyo, they had already mobilized a large army, and they were ready, just waiting for the Song army to come.

"Nothing is enough, there is more than failure!"

Zhao Yougong scolded, in the case of the Jin soldiers gathering troops, if you want to break through Liaoyang Mansion, it is not a very simple thing, how not to make Zhao Yougong angry, how not to make him angry, if Shao Hongyuan is not dead, with Zhao Yougong's temper, he will definitely be killed with his own hands to boost military discipline.

Zhang Jun was wounded, the army lost 20,000 casualties, and the Jin soldiers in Liaoyang Mansion were on guard, which made it a little difficult to attack the city.

When this news was passed to Zhao Gou, Thunder was furious, he didn't expect the problem to appear in his camp. According to the deployment, even if it is to capture Liaoyang Mansion, it will take three months, but it will take at least half a year, so it will be much more difficult to consume like this.

The next day, Zao Chao Zhao said expressionlessly: "I have decided to drive the expedition in person!" ”

"Your Majesty, this matter must not be done!" Pan Lianggui was the first to stand up against it, and said: "The Holy Lord is the king of a country, if the emperor is personally conquest, how will the Great Song Dynasty deal with it, if there is any accident, then the ministers will be to blame." ”

"Your Majesty, what Master Pan said is extremely true!" Li Guang also opposed Zhao Gou's personal expedition, and said: "The future of the Great Song Dynasty is tied to the emperor, and it is a big taboo to leave the capital and go to the front line regardless of the future of the Great Song Dynasty!" There are too many things in the court that need to be decided by the emperor, if the emperor is not in the capital, how should it operate? ”

"The ministers ask the emperor to think twice!" The ministers of the DPRK and the central government all knelt down and pleaded against Zhao Gou's personal expedition, they all hoped that Zhao Gou would focus on the country's social affairs, and it was also to make Zhao Gou believe that the generals in front of him had the ability to attack the city, and it would be too risky for the emperor to drive the expedition in person.

"I don't know your Aiqing's intentions!" Zhao Gou sighed, "As the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, the honor of the Ninety-Five, but the soldiers fought to the death with the Jin soldiers, but I enjoyed it in the rear, how safe I was!" Besides, the Second Emperor of Huiqin was still in the hands of the Jin people, and the news of the battle situation was too slow, and only by going to the battlefield in person could he better command the army. ”

"The shame that the Jin people gave to the Great Song Dynasty, I want to get it back with my own hands; The fate of the two emperors is unknown, and I will personally welcome them back to Beijing. If I can't greet it in person, even if I see the second emperor in the future, I won't be able to face it, can you Aiqing understand my intentions? ”

"The Great Song Dynasty is becoming more and more prosperous, the country is prosperous and stable, the people do not say that they have enough food and clothing, at least they do not have to live a life of exile, the actions of the officials of the Great Song Dynasty are in my eyes, if I am not in the capital, the affairs of the court and the central government will be jointly decided by Lord Pan, Lord Li, Lord Zhao, etc., I will temporarily entrust the Great Song Dynasty to you to manage, and I trust you to live up to my expectations."

"You Aiqing also want to cooperate with them better, as long as the government and the opposition work together, the day of long-term peace and stability in the Great Song Dynasty is not far away! I know your Aiqing's intentions, and I also understand the truth that the country is important, but the second emperor was humiliated in the hands of the Jinren, as a son of man, filial piety should come first, and I must go. ”

"Your Majesty!" The crowd pleaded again.

Zhao Gou said: "Everyone, please get up, I know your intentions very well!" Now the Great Song army is like a bamboo under the leadership of the king of Chu, and has taken the city one after another, and the Jin soldiers have fled. I am not only the king of a country, but also the emperor of the generals of the Great Song Dynasty, as the emperor can not be greedy for life and fear of death, nor can he hesitate, he must go to boost morale, this time the loss of troops and generals, morale is low, I do not want the Northern Expedition of the Jin Dynasty to be affected in any way. ”

After Zhao Gou's statement, everyone no longer objected, and after the dispersal of the dynasty, Zhao Gou summoned six Shangshu and told them a few things, if there is a major event that cannot be decided, it will be reported to him, and the things that can be solved will be discussed and resolved, and the majority obeys the minority.

The news of the emperor's personal expedition was quickly conveyed to Zhao Yougong, and Zhao Yougong hurriedly told the news to all the marshals, and everyone was looking forward to Zhao Gou's coming, but they were also a little worried. Now that the soldiers are in chaos, Jin Bing knows that Zhao Gou is coming, and he will inevitably become their target, and their responsibility to protect the emperor will be greater.

Zhao Gou temporarily handed over state affairs to Pan Lianggui, Li Guang, Zhao Ding and others, he believed that these people would not show favoritism, and he himself led Gao Zhong and led a thousand guards to go directly to the front line.
