Chapter 1 The Jin soldiers invaded the south, and they regarded death as home

Next Chapter

In February 1125, the army of Jin captured Emperor Tianzuo of Liao, and since then the Liao State has perished, and the country has been in existence for 210 years. When the Liao State fell, the Jin State was ambitious and wanted to raise troops to invade the Great Song Dynasty. The Jin State and the Great Song Dynasty were originally allies to jointly eliminate the Liao State, but they never thought that the Jin State would renegade its agreement to raise troops to attack the Song Dynasty.

At this time, the lord of the Great Song Dynasty was Zhao Heng of Song Qinzong, and he was also the ninth emperor of the Great Song Dynasty.

In August 1125, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty saw that the Jin soldiers had invaded the Great Song Dynasty, and hurriedly spread the news to the crown prince Zhao Huan. Even if Zhao Huan ascended the throne, he was terrified, and it was rare to be stable. At the beginning of October of the same year, the border was tight, and an urgent military information was sent to Bianjing and handed over to Song Qinzong, but he abandoned it and ignored it.

"Humph! If I want to send reinforcements, how can I allow you to have this opportunity! Song Qinzong Zhao Huan sneered, "Since you were born, your father has always been very fond of you, I thought that my father would pass on the great treasure to you, but I never expected it to fall into my hands!" As the emperor, the power in my hands is not as good as yours, and even the prestige is not as good as yours, how can I make you so satisfied! ”

"The Jin Kingdom invaded the Great Song Dynasty, and the people pinned their hopes on you, if you return triumphantly, will there still be me as the emperor in the hearts of the people of the world?"

As the monarch of the Great Song Dynasty, he actually ignored the war at the border pass, regardless of the life and death of the border generals, and was jealous of the virtuous, I am afraid that only Zhao Huan of Song Qinzong can do it!

If it was other generals, Song Qinzong Zhao Huan would definitely not abandon it and ignore it, and would definitely convene the ministers to discuss. It's a pity that the marshal of this campaign is the ninth brother of Song Qinzong, that is, Zhao Gou, the ninth son of Zhao Ji of Song Huizong.

"Senior brother, why is the imperial court reluctant to send reinforcements? With our current strength, we can't compete with 100,000 gold soldiers. If the Jin soldiers break through this place, I am afraid that the Great Song Dynasty will be in danger! ”

Located in the tent of the Song army's camp, the commander of the Song army, Zhao Gou, and his generals discussed good strategies against the enemy.

One wore a three-pronged purple and gold crown, a Xichuan red brocade and a hundred flowers robe, and a beast-faced head-swallowing chain armor, but seeing that the person was dignified, his instrument was lofty, his eyes revealed a cold glow, his brows were tightly locked, he sat on the chair, and said in a deep voice: "Since the imperial court is unwilling to send troops to reinforce, we can only rely on ourselves, even if I, Zhao Gou, die, I will never let the Jin soldiers invade the land of the Great Song Dynasty for half a step." ”

"Marshal, there are 100,000 golden soldiers, and our army only has 10,000 troops, and there is a huge disparity in strength, how can we resist it? With the current strategy implemented by the commander of the Jin Army, it must be a strong attack, if he enters the city by force, he is afraid that the city will be lost, how should this be good? ”

"What about the disparity in forces?" Zhao Gou said dryly, "I think we also experienced a battle with a huge disparity in troops? The final result is that we have won, what about the disparity in troops, even if there are more troops, we are not afraid, and it is only 100,000 gold soldiers, even if it is a million troops? We all survived the past safely, but now we are still worried that we will not be able to defeat the Jin soldiers? ”

Everyone suddenly realized that they had been worried about the strength of 100,000 Jin soldiers, but they forgot that they had also experienced a more tragic battle, that battle killed and wounded more brothers, and the disparity in strength was even greater.

"This time, the Jin soldiers' invasion of the Great Song Dynasty has been planned for a long time, and the only way to fight to the death is to let the Jin soldiers see that our Great Song Dynasty is not a soft persimmon, and if they want to invade the Great Song Dynasty, even if the emperor agrees, they must agree to my Zhao Gou. If I don't agree, Jin Bing doesn't want to enter the land of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

"As long as I, Zhao Gou, am alive for one day, I will go all out to resist foreign enemies, protect my Great Song Dynasty, and protect my Great Song people!"

"We will swear to follow the commander to the death, the city is in the people, and the city is dead!"

"Good! After the last battle, all the brothers went their separate ways, and today they are gathered again, so let's create glory together! Zhao Gou said loudly, "As a citizen of the Great Song Dynasty, he should serve the country, and today's Jin soldiers are coming, even if they die on the battlefield, they have no regrets!" The Great Song Dynasty is guarded by me Zhao Gou! ”

"The officers and men of the three armies obey orders!"

The crowd shouted in unison: "The end will be! ”

"General Yue, General Lu, this marshal allocated 3,000 troops and horses to you to guard the east gate, if the Jin soldiers enter the city, let one person enter the city, you come to see you!"

Yue Fei and Lu Junyi said in unison: "The last general is ordered!" ”

"General Lin, General Liu, this marshal has allocated 2,500 people to the two of you to guard the west gate, and there is no room for error!"

Lin Chong and Liu Qi replied in unison: "The last general will take orders!" ”

"General Sun, General Yang, this commander has allocated 2,500 of you to guard the south gate, and there is no room for error!"

Sun Li and Yang Yizhong replied respectfully: "The last general will take the order!" ”

"General Huyan and others followed Ben Shuai to guard the north gate and meet the enemy head-on."

Everyone replied in unison: "The last general has orders!" ”

"Since Jin Bing is coming, then I will let him have no return!" Zhao Gou sneered.

The generals also went down separately, leaving Zhao Gou alone in the camp tent, recalling the past, he couldn't help but sigh: "I never thought that I came to the Northern Song Dynasty from the later generations, and it would be the last year of the Northern Song Dynasty!" Since I will never let the historical tragedy repeat again, even if I take the life of Zhao Gou, I must protect the Great Song Dynasty at all costs. ”

"The traitorous ministers are in charge, and the people are not living in a dynasty, and it is not easy to have a glimmer of life to change, how can they give up easily! What if history is changed? I will never allow me to watch history repeat itself, but do nothing and allow the loss of the country and humiliation to happen. ”

"If I get through this difficulty, I, Zhao Gou, will be the leader in the troubled times; When I become the hero, it will be the time when the Great Song Dynasty rises! ”
